Damian Barton's two year tenure as Derry football manager has come to an end following the Oak Leaf county's exit from this year's championship last Saturday.

Barton's charges lost out to Mayo in Castlebar following extra-time and a statement released by the county board last night revealed that they were parting company with the 1993 All-Ireland winner.

The statement read: "Damian Barton was ratified by Coiste Chontae Dhoire as Derry senior football manager for an agreed period of two years.

"We would like to sincerely thank Damian, his management and backroom teams, and all the players who have represented their county during this period.

"Nominations for the position of Derry senior football manager will be sought from our clubs in the coming weeks."
