Andy Moran is to make his services available to the next Mayo manager.

However, the 31-year-old captain admits he may not be in a position to play every game given the injury problems he has to deal with in the past few years.

"I was very happy with my form but next year, if the manager wants me back, I will probably have to sit down and have a word and say 'what can we work on… how can we work it', because it's just so hard to shrug off injuries," he tells the Western People.

"I think before, whenever I got an injury, I could just play through it no problem, but now at this stage of my career, with the level of training that's being done, it's just getting harder and harder.

"I love training and I love doing the work, but maybe I might need to take a step back in some way. I'm not sure. We'll just have to sit down and talk about it.

"But I need to get my body right and 100 per cent before I really show my full potential again."

Moran has also expressed confidence in Mayo county board's ability to find the right successor to James Horan.

"I think it's exceptionally important," he continued.

"The players have done an awful lot, but the next manager is very important too - that he comes in and is his own man, instils his own ways and hopefully makes us a better team.

"We've got to semi-finals, we've got to finals, we've got to National League finals, it's time we started finishing these jobs off. Hopefully, the next guy in is the guy to bring us over the finish line."
