Paul Galvin has been appointed manager of Meath football heavyweights Ratoath.

The high-profile appointment marks a return to management for the four-time Kerry All-Ireland SFC winner who was involved as a coach with Kilmacud Crokes and Kildare in recent years. Before that, he had a short stint as Wexford senior football manager. Galvin also won seven Munster SFC titles, three All-Stars as well as Footballer of the Year in a glittering career with the Kingdom.

The Kerry great will be joined by former Donegal underage footballer Nathan Gavigan, who also acted as coach under outgoing manager Lar Norton. Keegan Cup winners in 2019, 2020 and 2022, Ratoath endured a disappointing 2024 but did have the considerable consolation of winning their first SHC title in 61 years with many of their best footballers on board.
