Leitrim GAA have announced the appointment of Down native Steven Poacher to the position of Leitrim senior manager for 2025.
It comes after Mickey Graham stepped down early in October, just two months after succeeding Andy Moran in the role.
The former Cavan manager said he vacated the managerial position due to “circumstances beyond his control”.
Graham then joined Pádraic Joyce’s backroom coaching team, confirmed by a Galway GAA statement announcing extension to Joyce’s term until as Galway manager until 2026.
