FORMER PLAYER COLIN KELLY is the new manager of the Louth senior footballers.
The county board confirmed the appointment in a tweet this evening.
Kelly takes over from Aidan O’Rourke who left the position in July after two years in charge. The former Armagh All-Star had the option of a third year but decided to step down from the Wee County hot seat.
Kelly is no stranger to management having guided Louth to a Leinster U21 final in 2012.
Louth will play Westmeath in the first round of the Leinster senior football championship again in 2015.
