Highly-rated GAA coach Peter Donnelly is to join Mickey Harte in a new Tyrone county football management set-up.

The Coalisland native has represented Tyrone at all levels, winning All-Ireland minor, under-21 and two senior medals, in 2005 and 2008.

Donnelly has been working as a GAA development coach with Cavan, working with their minor and senior squads.

The pair had been part of the Red Hands' management set-up under Harte since 2005.
