Malachy O’Rourke has been ratified as the new Monaghan football manager.

The Farney’s county board confirmed on their website that a committee meeting last night had supported the installation of the former Fermanagh boss.

The Derrylin man was in charge of his native Fermanagh from 2007 to 2010.

He brought the Erne County to an Ulster final in 2008 where they eventually lost out to Armagh after a replay. Earlier that year he had guided them to league promotion from Division 3.

The former Fermanagh player led Derry side Loup to the Ulster Club title in 2003 and steered Errigal Ciaran and Cavan Gaels to county titles in Tyrone and Cavan.
