It has been revealed that former Mayo GAA manager Stephen Rochford will take up a coaching role with an Offaly club side.
Rochford had formed part of the most recent Mayo football backroom team and took the reins after Kevin McStay stepped back from his role due to health issues. He was relieved of his duties as coach along with McStay last month.

Now, he is set to head East to form part of the backroom team of the reigning Offaly county champions, Tullamore.
The men from the county town are seen as one of the biggest clubs in the county, and will be looking to pick up a third title in succession, which would see them move joint-top of the roll of honour with Rhode.
The ex-Mayo bainisteoir will link up with Paul McConway's men and will be hoping he can nurture the likes of Cormac Egan and John Furlong to the summit once more.
This wouldn't be Rochford's first stint on the sidelines outside of his native county. In 2015, he guided Galway footballing powerhouses Corofin to All-Ireland Club glory, while he also formed part of Declan Bonner's Donegal backroom team.
His fellow ex-Mayo selector Liam McHale has also dipped his toes into the club scene, having taken a coaching role at Ardnaree Sarsfields.
