Incoming Clare football manager Peter Keane has been busy assembling his backroom team.

According to local reports, the former Kerry boss has already recruited current Miltown Malbay coach Eoin Curtin and ex-Roscommon coach Peter Tormey, who managed former Offaly kingpins Rhode this year. Shane O’Rourke has also come on board as strength and conditioning coach.

Keane, who was an interested spectator at last Sunday’s Clare SFC final between Éire Óg and Kilmurry-Ibrickane, has been recommended to succeed fellow county man Mark Fitzgerald, who stepped down after just one season in charge.
