Crozier succeeds Moran in Derry hot-seat

PADDY CROZIER has been appointed as the Derry senior football manager for the next three years.

The new manager takes over from Mickey Moran whose three-year term as county boss came to an end after the Championship defeat by Laois.

Crozier has managed Dungiven in recent years and was also part of the All-Ireland minor winning management team in 2002.
