Fermanagh GAA has released a statement confirming that  Pete McGrath will leave his position as manager of the senior team in the county.

McGrath, a distinguished coach, who has earned success at every level of the game, took charge of Fermanagh in 2014.

The following year McGrath guided Fermanagh to an All Ireland SFC Quarter-Final.

In 1991 and 1994 McGrath steered his native Down to Ulster and All Ireland glory.

"We have been informed by Pete McGrath that he is resigning from his position of Fermanagh Senior Football Team Manager," the statement said

"Fermanagh County Committee thank Pete and his entire backroom team of the last four years for all their hard work and commitment, and acknowledge the progress made in respect of their work with the county team.

"Pete took over the team in 2014, travelling from Rostrevor, Co. Down to fulfil his commitment to the role and during his period as manager worked extremely hard to develop a panel of players to represent the county.

"We wish Pete and all members of his backroom team every success for the future."
