Donaghy has been appointed joint-manager to work alongside Liam Brosnan who has been at the helm for the last two years.

Speaking after his appointment the four-time All-Ireland winner told IT Tralee:
"I am very excited by the challenge ahead, it's my first venture into management and I learned a lot working with the Galway hurlers last year. IT Tralee is a great asset to the county and the facilities are fantastic. I can't wait to work with an amazing bunch of players and I hope we can represent the Institute as best we can."
Big coup by @ITTraleeGAAClub to get @starryboy14 & @GmailMahony on board. Two intelligent, passionate, driven men. Best of luck lads. 👏🏻
