A month after Colm Cooper's retirement from inter-county football comes news of a new chapter in his GAA career - a move into the media.
RTÉ announced on Friday morning that the five-time All-Ireland winner will become a pundit on The Sunday Game.
Cooper will join fellow Kerrymen Pat Spillane and former teammate Tomás Ó Sé on the couch.
This weekend Cooper will appear on Radio 1's Sunday Sport. He will also make an appearance on the Ray D'Arcy Show on Saturday night with Henry Shefflin.
Delighted to welcome @colmcooper13 to the team... https://t.co/L8TJX7UUpl

It will certainly be interesting - and you'd have to hope that they do - if RTÉ deploy both Cooper and Joe Brolly together this summer.
Among the well-deserved praise which Cooper received following the announcement of his retirement, Brolly was one of the few dissenting voices.
The Derryman claimed Cooper lacked a 'warrior mentality' which he saw in other players such as Tyrone's Peter Canavan.
