Former Mayo player Andy Moran has been confirmed as the new Leitrim manager after being ratified at a county board meeting on Wednesday night.

It’s Moran’s first managerial job and he will take over the role from Terry Hyland with Mike Solan as assistant manager, along with former Leitrim players Barry McWeeney and James Glancy as selectors.

“We are delighted to bring the process of selecting a person to lead the county’s senior Team into competitive action for the 2022 season to a conclusion with the appointment of the former Mayo senior footballer to this position,” read a statement from Leitrim GAA.

“We look forward to a year of progress, as we, hopefully, head into a playing season in which normality will have resumed, following the continued Covid pandemic disruption of the 2020/2021 playing seasons.”
