Leitrim have appointed former Armagh footballer Jemar Hall as their new Head of Athletic Development ahead of the 2027 season.

Hall, who was part of Armagh’s All-Ireland-winning squad in 2024, spent 10 seasons with the Orchard County and co-founded HH Performance alongside former team mate Blaine Hughes.

Leitrim boss Steven Poacher believes Hall’s experience at the highest level will benefit the county’s senior and underage squads, with around half of the current panel aged under 22.

“He will bring a lot more than the Athletic Development side of it, he will bring his knowledge and knowhow of having played at the highest level,” Poacher said.

Hall replaces Darragh Finn in the role as Leitrim look to continue developing their young panel ahead of next season.
