Michael Moyles has stepped down from his coaching role with the Leitrim senior football team.

The former Mayo player, who helped his native Crossmolina to All-Ireland club glory in 2001, cited family commitments as the reasons behind his decision which he announced via Twitter yesterday:

Gutted not able to commit to another year with @LeitrimGAA ,away for long spells and having a young family means it's not feasible to continue. Great Experience, Over the 2 years I witnessed a young team with a relentless appetite to learn & improve, friends and warriors each one
