McNulty added to Orchard set-up

Justin McNulty won the All-Ireland title with Armagh in 2002

Armagh boss Paddy O'Rourke completed his backroom team on Thursday by bringing in former Orchard defender Justin McNulty.

All-Ireland winner McNulty, who was interested in taking the top job in July, has managed club sides Mullahoran and St Brigid's of Dublin.

Former Crossmaglen Rangers manager Donal Murtagh agreed to join O'Rourke's backroom team on Tuesday.

Fitness coach Mick McGurn is also part of the new Armagh set-up.

Murtagh, who opted to step down as Crossmaglen club supremo after four years, had also declared an interest in succeeding Peter McDonnell.

But Armagh gave the county manager's job to former Down boss O'Rourke - Murtagh will be a county selector.

Ex-Armagh boss Jim McCorry had turned down the chance to become part of O'Rourke's backroom team, deciding instead to stay with Down club Kilcoo after guiding them to the county senior title.
