Sligo Rovers are delighted to announce the appointment of Alan Murphy as Head of Performance of our Senior Women’s team.

Murphy was most recently Manager of Galway FC who were part of the league last season before their amalgamation with Galway United for 2023 and beyond.

The experienced coach has been a League of Ireland player previously before moving into coaching after retiring from playing.

Murphy was over the Connacht Schools team for a number of years.

Manager Steve Feeney is delighted to have Alan on board:

‘’This is a great appointment for us ahead of the new season.

‘’Alan knows the League having managed in it last season and he will prove to be an important part of the staff here this season.

‘’Alan will mostly look at opposition games and work closely with the playing squad throughout the season, helping the players develop in all areas of their game’’.

With the 2023 season now underway, Murphy is hard alongside Steve Feeney and the Bit O’ Red backroom team.

The Bit O’ Red host Peamount United next Saturday, March 18th at 5pm at The Showgrounds and we want a huge crowd to turn out and support the Women’s team.

Admission is just €5 with tickets available on the turnstiles.
