LONGFORD NATIVE GERRY Fox has been appointed as the manager of the New York footballers.

Fox previously served as a selector with the New York seniors under Justin O’Halloran in 2018, and was later appointed as manager of the team ahead of the 2020 season. However, that term was cut short by the Covid-19 pandemic, meaning Fox never got the chance to lead the team out.
His backroom team features Dan Doona (Kerry), Enda Williams (Longford) and Seán McNamee (Armagh); physio Marie Geraghty (Galway) and John Collins (Roscommon).
Seamie Keane (Mayo) of Trinity Gym will lead the strength and conditioning with the help of Aoife Carrig (Clare). Amy Brett (Mayo) will serve as Tour Manager and Logistics while David Harry Murnaghan (Monaghan) will be the kitman.
“It is a huge honour to manage New York again,” Fox said after his appointment. “2020 was unfinished business for me, and I’m looking forward to working with this talented group of players and building on the progress New York has made in recent seasons.”
