New Eastern Harps senior football manager Ross Donovan.

Former Sligo and Eastern Harps defender Ross Donovan will manage his native club’s senior football team in 2021.

A winner of three county senior football championship medals with the South Sligo club in 2002, 2008 and 2010, the teak-tough defender was also part of the Sligo team that won the Connacht senior football championship in 2007 — a year in which he received an All-Star nomination.

Donovan’s management team will include Ray Hannon, Paul McGovern and Mikey O’Grady.
