Former Kildare captain Eamonn Callaghan has joined the Carlow football backroom team ahead of the 2023 campaign.

Affectionately known as 'Leper', the Naas man has been brought on board as a performance coach by manager Niall Carew, who served as a Kildare selector when Callaghan was in his prime.

Last season, the 39-year-old teamed up with another veteran performer Eoin Doyle to manage Naas to their first Kildare SFC title in 31 years and a Leinster final appearance after Paul Kelly resigned just days before their county semi-final.

Carlow GAA is delighted to announce the addition of Eamonn Callaghan to our Senior Football Management Team as Performance Coach.

The Naas clubman made a record number of appearances for Kildare and brings a wealth of playing and coaching experience to the role.#carlowrising🇲🇱 pic.twitter.com/YSnNkmwZRf
