Two-time All Star Kevin Cassidy has confirmed that he will not line out for his native county this year, or at any time in the future.
Speaking on TG4's Seo Spoirt, the Donegal defender insisted that the door had closed and there was no turning back, despite Jim McGuinness hinting earlier in the week that the Gweedore clubman returning to the fold was not out of the question.
However, when asked by host Dara O'Cinneide, "Have you or Jim McGuinness closed the door on your return to Donegal, is that the end of it?", the 30-year-old replied: "That is the end of it, yes. The season has started, the lads are back in training. Even for me, it would have been very difficult to return and put in the same level of effort."
