Martin Murphy has stepped down as Portarlington football manager after four highly successful years in charge.

The Gracefield clubman joins new Offaly manager Liam Kearns' management set-up after leading Port' to a three-in-a-row of Laois SFC titles. Murphy's reign ended on a disappointing note last Saturday week when the Laois champions were soundly beaten by Kilmacud Crokes in their Leinster club SFC semi-final at Croke Park.

Portarlington also lost the corresponding fixture to Crokes by a mere two points 12 months ago.

Murphy also won the Laois SFC title twice with Stradbally as well a Division 1 League title with Portarlington.
