DJ Carey is in the running to become the next Waterford hurling manager.

The Irish Examiner is reporting that the Kilkenny legend - who recently returned to playing hurling with his club's junior team after a much-publicised health scare - will be nominated for the post at tonight's county board meeting.

Former selector Paraic Fanning, De La Salle manager Derek McGrath and Michael Ryan - who was ousted following a players' heave last month - are also expected to be in the hat.

Assuming they are interested, they will be interviewed by a six-man committee comprising county board chairman Tom Cunningham, secretary Timmy O'Keeffe, vice-chairman John O'Leary, treasurer Joe Cleary and former players Stephen Frampton and James Murray. Tweet
