Former Munster and Ireland rugby star Niall Ronan has joined the Meath football backroom team as a strength and conditioning coach.
The Irish Independent reports that Ronan has replaced John Coughlan in the role ahead of the Royals' return to Division 1 of the Allianz League after a 14-year lapse. Coughlan had held the position for three years.
The Bettystown man played rugby professionally for Munster, Leinster and Ireland for over a decade before returning to his GAA roots and winning a Meath IFC medal with St Colmcille's in 2016. The Cille's went on to reach the All-Ireland final, only to lose to Lee Keegan's Westport.
