Updates for Derry club news

PAUL Bradley is expected to be officially reappointed as Sleacht Néill manager after steering the club to their first senior title since 2017.

The former Sleacht Néill player had a great first season in charge, culminating in a four-point victory over reigning champions Magherafelt in the Derry SFC final.

Elsewhere, former Ballinderry goalkeeper Michael Conlan has moved into the senior management role for the 2021 season.

Conlan, who was part of the Ballinderry team which won the All-Ireland SFC title in 2002, is a highly popular figure and was part of the coaching backroom last year, spearheaded by previous incumbent Niall Conway.

Elsewhere, Swatragh are still looking to confirm their management for the new season after Enda McGinley departed for the Antrim job.

He was two years at the helm and steered them to an impressive third in the league last year.
