Davy Burke has stepped down as Wicklow senior football manager after two seasons at the helm.

The Kildare native guided the Garden County to a long-awaited promotion from Division 4 of the Allianz League in his first season in charge, and followed that up with a Leinster SFC first round victory over neighbours Wexford.

In 2021, Wicklow retained their third-tier league status after a memorable relegation play-off win against the then-reigning Ulster champions Cavan at Pairc Tailteann before Wexford turn the tables on Burke's charges in the provincial championship.

A statement by Davy Burke on officialwicklowgaa.ie reads: "I would like to thank the group of Wicklow players that I was extremely lucky to have worked with over the past 2 years. I am very proud of the group and what they have achieved in gaining promotion from division 4 and retaining division 3 status for 2022 in what were very challenging times.

"I can’t thank my management team of Mike Hassett and Gary Jameson enough for their huge effort and unwavering support over the 2 years. I would also like to thank our backroom team for their time, commitment and expertise they each brought to our setup.

"Finally I would like to thank the Wicklow County Board, the Wicklow Clubs and our team sponsor Renault for their invaluable support.

"Wicklow Football is in a very strong position and I look forward to following their continued progress in the coming years."
