The New York footballers have filled their managerial vacancy with the appointment of a familiar face in Ronan McGinley, the Tyrone native who has played for, captained and coached the Exiles over the past 13 years. 

McGinley was part of the backroom team for the 2024 campaign under Alan O'Mara, the former Cavan goalkeeper who has stepped down from duties in the Big Apple due to family and work commitments. A brother of current Errigal Ciarán manager Enda, McGinley now takes the reins for 2025.
