Down have appointed Conor Laverty as their new senior football manager.
Former county star Martin Clarke, who also excelled in the AFL with Collingwood, will serve as a selector along with Declan Morgan, while a third selector will be appointed at a later stage along with the rest of the backroom team.
Laverty has already served two years as Down under-20 manager and, interestingly, will continue in that position alongside the senior job.
