Current Slaughtneil boss Mark Doran has been added to Davy Burke’s management team in Roscommon.
The move effectively kills off rumours linking Doran with the managerial vacancy in Derry.
The former Down footballer, who has previous inter-county coaching experience with Clare, Wicklow and his native county, will join Eddie Lohan, Leo Tierney and Hugh Lynch on Burke’s Rossie ticket for 2025.
It is understood that Lar Wall, who was involved in 2024 and subsequently linked with management positions in Meath and Westmeath, won’t be involved.
