Antrim hurling manager Davy Fitzgerald has recruited Seoirse Bulfin as team coach for 2026.
The Limerick man's arrival is part of a shake-up of the backroom team with Pat Bennett, Neil McManus and Paudie Shivers not returning next year, although Arron Graffin is expected to stay on
Bulfin and Fitzgerald have worked together in a number of counties with the Bruff native first linking up with fellow former goalkeeper in Waterford, before moving on to Clare where they managed to guide the Banner County to the 2013 All-Ireland title.
They also brought success to Wexford, winning the 2019 Leinster title and also working together with Sixmikebridge in Clare.
In 2021, Bulfin initially took up a coaching role with Meath before being appointed manager the following year, while he spent 2025 at the helm with Westmeath.
The pair will reunite with Antrim next year as they seek to plot a route back into the Leinster championship following the Saffrons' relegation to the Joe McDonagh Cup competition.
However, they did preserve their Division 1B status in the league with Fitzgerald set to face some of his former counties in Clare and Wexford.
