Glen Watty Graham's manager Malachy O'Rourke

Former Monaghan and Fermanagh boss Malachy O’Rourke has confirmed he did meet Donegal last year to discuss their then-vacant football position but says he is content in his current role with Derry club Glen.

O’Rourke had been touted as a leading contender to replace Declan Bonner in Donegal. He previously brought Monaghan to two Ulster SFC titles. The former Fermanagh footballer also guided Glen to their first Derry SF championship last season and remains in charge of the Watty Graham’s side.
