Liam McHale will not be putting his name forward to be the next manager of the Mayo senior footballers after committing himself to another year as a selector with Clare.
Along with manager Michael McDermott and fellow selector James Horan, the Ballina native will again be part of the trio to guide the Banner in 2011 after ratification from the Clare County Board.
Speaking to The Irish Independent, McDermott said: 'The County Board wanted it put to bed before the club championship got going, so it would give us the opportunity to look closely at championship matches to help us build a panel.
'Liam is very committed to the cause and enjoyed it last year. The reaction of the players was that they enjoyed the work he did, and the three of us on the management team got on very well together and now hope to build on last year.'
