Kerry legend Paul Galvin confirmed as Ratoath boss

The former Kerry star will also have Nathan Gavigan as part of his backroom team

Four-time All Ireland SFC winner with Kerry, Paul Galvin will be at the helm of the three-time Meath SFC champions Ratoath in 2025.

It was believed that former Donegal player Nathan Gavigan would be taking the reigns but the Sigerson Cup winner with DCU will now resume his coaching role with Ratoath, a position that he held last year under Galvin's predecessor Lar Norton.

As a player, Galvin picked up numerous honours including four SFC All-Irelands, seven SFC Munster titles and three All-Stars. Galvin has previously managed the Wexford footballers and most recently he was a coach with Kilmacud Crokes under the current Meath manager, Robbie Brennan.

After a disappointing quarter-final exit in 2024, Ratoath will be looking to bounce back to the levels that they were at in previous years having picked up three Meath senior titles in 2019, 2020 and 2022.
