Gerry Fox says he has 'unfinished business' to tend to following his appointment as New York senior football manager for a second time.

The Longford native takes over from Tyrone's Ronan McGinley as the last inter-county football manager vacancy is filled ahead of the 2027 season. Fox was previously appointed to the role in 2020, but never got to manage the team due to the Covid-19 pandemic. He had served as a selector under Justin O'Halloran prior to that.

His backroom team includes Dan Doona (Kerry), Enda Williams (Longford) and Seán McNamee (Armagh); physio Marie Geraghty (Galway) and John Collins (Roscommon).

Seamie Keane (Mayo) will lead the strength and conditioning with the help of Aoife Carrig (Clare). Amy Brett (Mayo) will serve as Tour Manager and Logistics while David Harry Murnaghan (Monaghan) will be the kitman.

“It is a huge honour to manage New York again,” Fox said.

“2020 was unfinished business for me, and I’m looking forward to working with this talented group of players and building on the progress New York has made in recent seasons.”
