Wexford manager Davy Fitzgerald has revealed how a home visit from his players helped persuade him to stay in charge of Slaneysiders for another season.

Fitzgerald’s future with the Model men was very much up in the air after the team’s All-Ireland SHC quarter-final defeat to his native Clare in mid-July but he revealed the decision was made a lot easier after members of the team arrived at his house.

"When you've a good few of them arrive down to your house, it was an easy enough decision at the end of the day," Fitzgerald is quoted saying by Sky Sports.

"There's no way a manager can keep 36 guys happy. But in fairness, we get on very well. I was surprised to see them all come down. The lads that couldn't come down texted me.

"They knew that there was something else that I could have done besides managing the team. They just wanted to let me know how they felt."
