Cluxton named on Dubs backroom team

Ger Brennan has drafted former team-mates Stephen Cluxton, Dean Rock and Denis Bastick into his Dublin senior football management team.

Holder of a record nine senior All-Ireland medals, 43-year-old goalkeeping legend Cluxton was between the posts for the Dubs throughout this year's championship. It hasn't been confirmed yet whether he will also remain on as a player in 2026.

Rock retired from intercounty duty in 2023, having won eight All-Irelands, while Bastick collected Celtic Crosses before retiring in 2017. With 22 All-Irelands between them, the trio will bring an abundance of wisdom and authority to the Dublin think tank.

Meanwhile, two-time All-Ireland winner Brennan – who was named as Dessie Farrell’s successor last month - has also added Professor Niall Moyna to his set-up. Brennan and Moyna famously worked together in Louth for two years, helping the Wee County to Leinster glory last summer.
