Ciarán Kilduff says he will have a conversation with his old Dundalk boss Stephen Kenny in the coming weeks as he embarks on his first foray into management in the men's game.

The 36-year-old was part of Kenny's hugely successful Lilywhites team, winning two league titles and an FAI Cup under the now former Republic of Ireland boss as well as scoring the club's first ever European group stage goal against AZ Alkmaar in September 2016.
