Earley to take interim charge of Rossies

The former Roscommon footballer won two Connacht SFC medals and was named an All Star in 1985.

A statement issued by the Roscommon County Board said: “Paul is well known in coaching circles and has worked with club and county squads as a coach. Paul’s appointment is for Roscommon’s remaining National Football League fixtures against Dublin on Saturday next and the match v Cavan on Sunday week. The selectors to assist Paul will be announced prior to Saturday’s night’s fixture against Dublin.”
