Ger Brennan has been ratified as the new Louth senior football team manager.

The former Dublin star has received a two year term, with the option of a third campaign.

Brennan replaces Mickey Harte, who was appointed as the Derry boss last month.

Niall Moyna (selector), James McCartan and David Whyte (coaches) are part of Brennan's backroom set-up which also includes James Downey and Paul O'Flynn.
