Antrim hurling manager Davy Fitzgerald has brought Seoirse Bulfin into the Saffrons’ set-up as team coach for the 2026 season, according to a report from BBC Sport NI.

The move comes after Neil McManus, Pat Bennett and Paudie Shivers stepped backed from their roles within Fitzgerald’s backroom team following the conclusion of this past season.

Both Fitzgerald and Bulfin previously worked together in Waterford and Clare, including during the Banner County’s 2013 All-Ireland SHC triumph.

Fitzgerald also had the Limerick native in his backroom team when Wexford delivered Leinster championship honours in 2019.

Two years later, Bulfin would become a coach with Meath before being appointed the county’s senior hurling manager and this past year saw him in charge of Westmeath.

After stepping down in the Lake County in June, he has now linked up with Fitzgerald once more as the Glensmen look to plot a return to the Leinster SHC this coming season.
