Cork GAA have appointed Munster strength and conditioning coach Aidan O'Connell as the county's new High Performance Manager.
O'Connell will oversee all high-performance matters across both codes and at all levels, from underage to senior.
The Ballyclough-native has been with Munster since 2004, prior to which he worked with Leinster Rugby and at Yale University.
He worked with the Cork senior footballers between 2008 and 2012, in which time they won their last All-Ireland.
"I am absolutely delighted that someone of the calibre and experience of Aidan O'Connell is joining the Cork GAA team," said County Chairperson Tracey Kennedy.
"The position of High Performance Manager will be a vital one in ensuring that we maximise the achievement of our inter-county teams in an increasingly demanding and competitive environment, and Aidan brings a wealth of practical experience to this role, along with a strong GAA background.
"He has come through a rigorous interview process, and we are very lucky to have secured his services. On behalf of Cork County Board, I would like to warmly welcome Aidan to the team and wish him every success in this new role."
