Rebels set to confirm Flanagan role

Former Kerry strength and conditioning coach Pat Flanagan is to be confirmed as part of the Cork footballers’ backroom team in the coming days.

Flanagan is regarded as one of the top practitioners in this area of team preparation — formerly an international sprinter and national sprint champion, he has worked with many inter-county teams including Laois, Dublin, Roscommon and Longford.

In 2013 alone, he worked as strength and conditioning coach with the Waterford senior hurlers and the footballers of Dr Crokes in Kerry.
