Mayo GAA has confirmed Kevin McStay has been appointed as the county's new senior football manager.

Confirming the news on Monday evening, Mayo GAA tweeted: "Kevin McStay ratified as new Mayo GAA senior football manager following a meeting of the Mayo GAA executive committee and Mayo GAA county board this evening in Castlebar."

The county board said McStay has been brought on for a four-year term.

McStay previously managed the Roscommon senior team, as well as club side St Brigid's, and is understood to have assembled a management team made up of former Mayo boss Stephen Rochford, ex-Mayo coach Donie Buckley, his old Roscommon and Brigid's coach Liam McHale and ex-Belmullet manager Damien Mulligan.
