'He's high quality' - Rogers happy with Tally appointment

Derry's Brendan Rogers says the Oak Leaf players are "very happy" with Paddy Tally's appointment as senior football manager.

Tally was last week confirmed as Mickey Harte's replacement, bringing to an end the county's four-month search for a new boss.

"We're very happy in Paddy," Rogers said, speaking after helping Slaughtneil reach the Ulster Club hurling final with a thrilling victory over Cushendall on Saturday.

"Maybe when it [the search] went on a bit people were saying 'get somebody, get somebody' but no.

"Full credit to the [county] committee they'd went in and sourced Paddy. They went after people they knew were high quality. Paddy's high quality.

"He's coached in four All-Ireland finals, won two of them ands played in an All-Ireland final in '95 with Tyrone and he's won a Sigerson [Cup] as a manager so it's brilliant to have someone of that quality about."
