After the ball winner's last outing against Offaly in the league, he released a statement informing everyone of his immediate departure.

Although full-back Conor McGill captained the county in their last league game against Derry, this was due to O’Sullivan carrying an injury and having to miss the game.
Meath open their Leinster championship campaign against either Laois or Wicklow on May 1.
