The Naas man has played hurling for the last number of years
Naas dual star Brian Byrne is opting to focus on football for Glenn Ryan’s squad in 2024
Byrne captained the Lilies hurlers to Christy Ring Cup wins in 2020 and '22.
Kildare will play their hurling at Christy Ring Cup level next year, having been relegated from the Joe McDonagh Cup
He was full-back on the Naas side that won three-in-a-row senior football titles this year – as well as reaching the Leinster final two weeks ago
Byrne's departure was confirmed to Independent.ie by new Kildare hurling manager Kilkenny man Brian Dowling.
