Harnedy believes he would have finished up with inter-county hurling much earlier than he did were it not for the influence of former Cork manager, Pat Ryan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was going to step away after 2022, and the county board\u2019s decision to appoint Pat as manager was a major factor in my decision to continue,\u201d admits Harnedy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were two pivotal moments in my career \u2013 2017 and 2023. We won Munster in 2017 and Pat\u2019s coaching, working alongside Kieran Kingston, was hugely important. He\u2019s a wonderful mentor and a wonderful person.<\/p>\n

\u201cPatrick Horgan has spoken about how Pat put Cork before himself during a difficult year a couple of years ago. Some of the leaders in the group thought we were going to lose him, but he stayed with us.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t speak highly enough of Pat Ryan. He\u2019s a brilliant coach who sees the game differently to most people. He\u2019s also an incredibly nice, genuine man who was very important to me throughout my career.\u201d<\/p>\n
