Tipperary's footballers will be without their star forward Michael Quinlivan for the 2020 campaign.
Manager David Power has revealed that the Clonmel Commercials clubman is taking a year out to go traveling.
“Michael is going traveling, it is a thing that has been on his mind for a while now so he won’t be available to us next year," the new Tipp senior boss told The Sun.
“He’ll be a big loss obviously, but it’s something I had known about going for the job so you just have to get on with it.”
Quinlivan won an All-Star in 2016 and was part of the Premier's All-Ireland minor winning team under Power in 2011.
Tipperary will be hoping to make a swift return to Division Two next year in a bid to avoid playing in the Tier Two Championship next summer.
And Power says he's been boosted by the return of another 2011 All-Ireland minor winner, Colman Kennedy, to the panel.
Kennedy had previously been playing college soccer in the United States before returning home to join Limerick FC:
“Colman will be available to us for next year.
“He’s been playing well with Clonmel Commercials, and in general we have had a great response from players.
