Davy Burke has been ratified as the new Roscommon senior football team manager.

The former Wicklow boss has been appointed on a three year term. Mark McHugh, who won an All-Ireland as a player with Donegal in 2012, will be part of Burke's backroom team as a coach. Burke guided his native Kildare to All-Ireland U20 glory in 2018.

Brian Carroll, Roscommon GAA county chairperson, said: “Roscommon GAA are absolutely delighted with the appointment.

"Davy Burke is a young enthusiastic manager, who has gained much experience in his managerial career through club, college and county.”
