Shane Curran is set to manage the Carlow senior footballers.

Subject to ratification at the next county board meeting, the colourful former Roscommon goalkeeper will succeed Niall Carew in the position after spells in charge of Padraig Pearses (Roscommon), Durrow (Offaly) and Caulry (Westmeath) as well as the Roscommon U20s. However, this will be a first senior inter-county management role for the 2013 All-Ireland Club SFC winning goalkeeper with St Brigid's.

“I am delighted that Carlow GAA have secured the services of Shane Curran as senior football team manager," Carlow GAA chairman Jim Bolger said. 

"I believe Shane’s commitment and passion as a player, which continued into his career as a coach and a manager, will have a hugely positive effect on the Carlow senior football team.

“Shane’s unwavering energy and enthusiasm will hopefully drive Carlow’s ambitions to new heights and on behalf of all in Carlow GAA I want to wish Shane and his team the very best of luck going forward into 2025.”
