NEWSTALK HAVE ANNOUNCED a trio of new signings with 10 Allstars between them for their 2015 All-Ireland senior championship coverage.

James Horan, Brian Hogan and Eoin Kelly will all feature on the radio station throughout the summer.

Ex-Mayo boss Horan made his debut last Sunday analyzing the Cavan-Monaghan Ulster championship showdown. He stepped down in the wake of last summer’s All-Ireland semi-final replay loss to Kerry.

Hogan called time on his Kilkenny hurling career last November after a season where the Cats had finished up as All-Ireland champions.

Then early last December, Kelly hung up his hurley after a stellar career with the Tippeary senior hurlers.

Newstalk’s live coverage continues with this Sunday’s Leinster football quarter-final between Dublin and Longford.

Their trio of new signings have achieved a fair amount during their careers to date:

James Horan (Mayo)

  • 3 Connacht senior titles as a player and 4 Connacht senior titles as a manager.
  • Allstar awards as a half-forward in 1996 and 1999.
  • Part of the 2001 Mayo National football league winning side.
  • Played in two All-Ireland senior finals with Mayo and managed the county to two deciders as well.
