Joe Quinn has returned to the Antrim senior football set-up in a coaching role.

The former St Paul's midfielder was a past regular during a 12-year career with the Saffrons, battling and holding his own against the likes of Derry great Anthony Tohill and Armagh powerhouse Paul McGrane.

2008 saw him retire from football at the age of 31 and he has since been coaching underage teams at club level.

Quinn revealed to The Irish News that former team-mate Gearoid Adams, who was drafted into Frank Fitzsimons' backroom team in October, offered him the invite to return to the Antrim set-up and the former Sigerson Cup winner already has some priorities in mind for next season.

"Division Four is going to be hard to get out of," Quinn admitted.

"But promotion will be the priority. The championship is a good distance away. The first league game against Carlow is crucial. That's probably our most important game of the year."
