Louth County Board Chairman Peter Fitzpatrick

Louth chairman Peter Fitzpatrick is ‘delighted’ to have recruited Mickey Harte as manager of the county’s senior football team for the next three years.

The Wee County announced the news that Harte and Gavin Devlin would be taking charge of their senior and Under 20 teams last night and, speaking to RTE’s Morning Ireland, Fitzpatrick commented: “We're delighted to have someone of the calibre of Mickey Harte and Gavin Devlin managing our team.

“We're showing confidence in Mickey and Gavin by giving them a three-year contract.

“We know that it's going to take a lot of work, but we're not expecting things to change overnight.”
