Wexford have finally ended their lengthy search for a manager with the appointment of former Laois star Pat Roe.

Roe, takes up his post immediately, replacing Dom Twomey who resigned after just one year in charge due to work commitments.

After a five-month search during which many well known names were mentioned, the three Wexford selectors of Ger Halligan, Declan Carthy and Michael Furlong decided to give Roe the responsibility of leading the county into Division 1 football for the first time.

Roe enjoyed a two-year stint with Carlow that ended last year at the end of the championship campaign. The highlight of Roe's time with the county was winning the O'Byrne Cup senior football tournament for the first time.
