Tipperary hurling legend Brendan Maher is set to join the Offaly senior hurling backroom team for the 2023.
The 33-year-old from Borrisoleigh is a major coup for John Kelly ahead of his first season in the hot-seat. Kelly was ratified as manager for the 2023 season at the beginning of last month having served as part of Michael Fennelly's backroom team for past couple of seasons.
A three-time All-Ireland winner with the Premier County, Maher retired from inter-county hurling at the end of the 2021 season. An All-star on three occasions the versatile Maher played in six All Ireland finals, all of which were against Brian Cody Kilkenny.
