St Patrick's Athletic’s all-time record appearance holder Ian Bermingham is staying on with the club as their new Football Partnership Manager.

The defender captained the Saints to FAI Cup glory last year but fell out of favour under new manager Tim Clancy midseason and recently signalled his intention to retire once the campaign ends in October.
