Former Roscommon goalkeeper Shane Curran is the latest high profile addition to Mick Lillis' Laois senior football backroom team.

The Irish Daily Mirror reports that the All-Ireland Club winning netminder has been drafted in as goalkeeping coach ahead of the O'Moore County's Leinster SFC quarter-final against Dublin.

It is believed that Curran has been brought on board on the advice of former Galway hurling supremo Anthony Cunningham who joined Lillis' management team a number of weeks ago.

Cunningham previously managed Curran, who ran as a Fianna Fail candidate in the recent General Election, at club level with St Brigid's.

'Cake' and the new look management team can expect a baptism of fire against the All-Ireland champions in Nowlan Park next Saturday evening.
