The gunner calls time on Cavan career

Killian Brady retires from intercounty football

Killian “the gunner” Brady has called time on his Cavan career after 13-years.

A statement by the Cavan county board confirmed the decision with the board saying;

“A Decade of Dedication: From his triple debut year in 2013 - championship against Armagh, national league against Monaghan, and McKenna Cup against Down - Brady established himself as the epitome of commitment and grit in the Cavan jersey.

121 appearances tell the story of a player who answered every call, a true stalwart who embodied the never-say-die spirit that Cavan fans love to see.

Intercounty trophy cabinet:

Ulster Senior Championship 2020 - The big one!

National League Division 4 (2022) & Division 3 (2023) - Part of Cavan's recent resurgence

U21 Ulster Championship 2012 - Early promise fulfilled

U21 Hastings Cup 2012 - A golden year at underage level.

The Gunner's Legacy: That nickname says it all - a tough, no-nonsense defender who never took a backward step. His 0-06 scoring record reflects his defensive role, but those crucial points came when Cavan needed them most.

Brady's career perfectly captures Cavan's journey over the past decade - from rebuilding through the divisions to that magical Ulster triumph in 2020.

Slán, Gunner! Thank you for every tackle, every block, every moment you wore the jersey with pride. Enjoy the well-earned retirement with family and friends!
