Gerry Hussey has left his role as performance coach with the Cork hurlers after a single season under manager Ben O’Connor, according to The Echo.

The Galway native arrived last winter as a significant addition to O’Connor’s backroom team, bringing a strong reputation from his work with Ireland’s Olympic boxers and his involvement in Tipperary’s 2016 All-Ireland SHC triumph alongside Tony Óg Regan. He replaced Gary Keegan as Cork's performance coach.
