Antrim GAA has confirmed that Lenny Harbinson has stepped down as the manager of their senior football team.

The highly regarded Harbinson was appointed as Antrim manager in September 2017.

Following a successful playing career, Harbinson steered St Gall's to AIB All Ireland Club glory in 2010.

Despite a gritty performance, Antrim were narrowly beaten in the Ulster SFC by Cavan last Saturday.

"Lenny Harbinson informed Antrim county board today that he did not wish to extend his three year contract as Antrim Senior Football manager," the Antrim GAA statement said. 

"Lenny has been a good servant of Antrim GAA both as a player and a manager , we would like to put on record our gratitude to Lenny and his management team for all the hard work put in over the last three years with Antrim Senior Football squad. We wish them all the best in the future."
