Mickey Harte has been re-appointed as Tyrone manage on a two-year term during a meeting of club officials at Garvaghey on Tuesday night.

There had been intense speculation over his future, but he has emerged with a more enhanced term than the previous one-year stretch which had just run its course.

Despite reports to the contrary, the All-Ireland under-21 winning management team of Feargal Logan, Brian Dooher and Peter Canavan was also returned on a two-year term.

Last week, Harte met a three-person delegation from the county executive, led by chairperson Róisín Jordan, to discuss all aspects of the team management situation.

He reiterated his desire to remain in the job, a position he had outlined publicly in the immediate aftermath of the four-point defeat to the Kerry in the All-Ireland semi-final.

The Errigal Ciarán man is by far the longest serving football boss in the county, and the most successful manager in the history of Tyrone GAA, winning All-Ireland titles in in 2003, 2005 and 2008.
