Clare football boss Colm Collins is on the lookout for a completely new backroom team.

Coach Ephie Fitzgerald and selector Ger Keane stepped down following the Banner's All-Ireland SFC second round qualifier loss to Longford in July, and now strength and conditioning coach Chris Delooze has revealed that he is returning to his native Australia and won't be around in 2016.

Former Nemo Rangers manager Fitzgerald took over as coach from fellow Cork man Paudie Kissane last year, but stepped aside after just one season. Keane served as a selector for three years, the first of which was under Mick O'Dwyer.

Collins, who still has another year left of a three-year term, is rumoured to be lining up Miltown St. Joseph's clubman David O'Brien for a role in his new set-up.
