Rory Gallagher has resigned as manager of the Fermanagh footballers after two years at the helm.

The ex-Donegal boss oversaw a successful period in the Erne County, reaching the 2018 Ulster final, winning promotion to Division 2 of the National League, and pushing hard for top-flight status in the springtime of 2019.

Fermanagh had a tough draw in the 2019 championship, as they exited after losses to Donegal and Monaghan.
