Brian Dooher to be involved in Tyrone U21 management team

Dooher won three All-Ireland senior medals as a player with the county.

BRIAN DOOHER WILL be involved in the Tyrone U21 football management team next season under new boss Fergal Logan.

The Tyrone county board have confirmed tonight that Logan will be the manager of their U21 team for the 2014 and 2015 seasons.

And Dooher, who did have a role in the Tyrone U21 backroom team under Raymond Monroe in 2013, will be an assistant to Logan.

Tyrone icon Dooher brings a wealth of Gaelic football experience having won three All-Ireland senior medals in 2003, 2005 and 2008. He captained Tyrone to the two latter triumphs.

Dooher also won Allstar awards in each of those campaigns while his Tyrone career also saw him collect six Ulster senior titles and two National football league medals.

He won an Ulster senior football medal alongside Logan in 1996. Logan was an Allstar nominee for midfield in  1995.

Logan’s coaching record has seen him fill the role of the player manager of the Stewartstown Harps team that won the Ulster junior club championship in 2004 and subsequently reached the All Ireland club final in 2005.

Since then, Logan has been involved in coaching at development squad level in Tyrone for the past 4 years.
