Former county senior footballer Brian Flanagan has been appointed as the new Kildare U20 football manager on a two-year term with a review after the first season.

The Johnstownbridge clubman will be assisted by his former Lilywhite teammates Emmet Bolton (Eadestown) and Mark Scanlon (Round Towers). A third selector will be announced in due course.

After his playing career came to a premature end in 2014 at the age of 29 due to a persistent knee injury, Flanagan became involved in management and joined the Kildare senior set-up under Cian O'Neill. He has also managed his native Johnstownbridge, the Kildare juniors, DIT's Sigerson Cup team as well as working with the Westmeath seniors.
