Finn Harps and Dave Rogers part company

Dave Rogers has stepped down from his role as Finn Harps manager due to family and personal reasons.

Rogers, who signed a four-year deal with the club last December, succeeded Ollie Horgan after the Ballybofey outfit were relegated to the second tier of the League of Ireland.

Harps currently languish in ninth place in the First Division table, above basement boys Kerry.

Rogers told the club website: "Due to personal and family reasons I have decided to step down as manager of Finn Harps FC.

"I would like to place on record my sincere gratitude to chairman Ian Harkin, the board of directors, my technical staff and the players, and more importantly the fantastic Harps supporters and community.

"Best Wishes and success for the future. Up the Harps."
