The sports star thanked his teammates, his managers, his supporters, the Garda and his family for supporting him throughout his career.
“It’s been an absolute honour for me to wear the green and gold jersey for Kerry for the past 14 years at senior level and I leave having great respect for all the talented players I have shared my footballing career with,” his press release read on Kerry GAA’s website.
“I am extremely grateful for all the support my teammates gave me down through the years and I have made friendships for life.
“I have been incredibly fortunate to represent my Club (Rathmore), County, Province and Country over the years. It was an honour to share the dressing room with such brilliant players throughout the last 14 years with Kerry.
“I have utmost respect for every player whom I have played against as we all put on our county colours with a common goal in mind.”
The news comes after Aidan announced on Dancing With The Stars that his wife is expecting their first child together.
