“Sean has worked with our academy teams over the last few months,” CEO Ciara McCormack said. 

“His passion for coaching and ability to develop players is at some of the highest levels I have ever seen. 

“As we look to integrate local players into our senior team and build our club into one that is challenging for titles, Sean stood out as someone we feel confident can help us do that in the years to come.”

“What is important is setting high standards, every single day, every single session, every single game, this will result in positive actions, and we will get to where we want to be.”
