Duffy excited by move to the ‘real’ world with Connacht role

Former Connacht Rugby captain and current Mayo footballer, Gavin Duffy, is returning to the province to take up a new role in the commercial department.

Duffy, who retired from rugby at the end of the season, has been appointed as a senior development executive within Connacht Rugby’s commercial and marketing department on a full-time basis starting in July.

Currently playing with football with Mayo, Duffy says the appointment is his “dream job”, enabling him to continue to have a role in his home province, having ended his playing career.
