Kieran Donaghy has joined the Kerry senior football’s backroom team for next year, the county has confirmed.

The former Kerry full forward will join up again with Jack O’Connor, where they won multiple All-Ireland titles together in the 2000s.

Donaghy was recently a selector for Armagh in the backroom team of Kieran McGeeney, where they won the All-Ireland in 2024.

“Five incredible years with Armagh GAA have come to an end, and I walk away full of pride, memories, and deep gratitude,” Donaghy said in a statement after leaving the Armagh set-up.
