Paddy Bradley thinks Donegal have turned the corner after a difficult season and expects them to bounce back strongly in 2024.

Bradley was part of Paddy Carr’s backroom team before Carr stepped down and Aidan O’Rourke took over along with the former Derry sharpshooter, who is currently managing his home club Glenullin in the Derry SFC.

"If Donegal can get their house in order, get their injuries cleared up, get all the boys that maybe weren't buying in this year, get them back buying in, Donegal isn't that far away. You still have some fantastic footballers there. It was difficult because of all of the stuff going on in the background," Bradley said in an interview with gaa.ie

"Any dealings Aidan or myself had with the County Board were grand, were fantastic, everything the team needed, they got. You hate to see wranglings like that go on between a team and the County Board.

"You just hope that they can get it sorted because there is plenty of good footballers and good football men there. In terms of my own personal experiences, I've great time for the players and how they conducted themselves throughout the course of the year."
