It is looking highly likely that Malachy O'Rourke will become the next manager of the Tyrone senior footballers.

BBC Northern Ireland report that Fermanagh native O'Rourke was the only person nominated to succeed Feargal Logan and Brian Dooher in the role. He was nominated by Errigal Ciaran, the club with which he won titles as both a player and manager.
