'Full of pride, memories and deep gratitude': Donaghy steps down as Armagh selector and forwards coach

The Tralee native was a huge factor in the county’s All Ireland winning success last year but after five years of regularly making the 500-plus-miles round-trip commute, he informed Kieran McGeeney in recent days that his time with the county was done

Kieran Donaghy has stepped down as selector and forwards coach to the Armagh senior footballers.

The Tralee native was a huge factor in the county’s 2024 All-Ireland win, only the second in their history, but after five years of regularly making the 500-plus-miles round-trip, he informed manager Kieran McGeeney last week and the Armagh players over the weekend that his time with the county was done.
