Former Derry City player Dean Sheils has been appointed as the new manager of Irish Premiership side Dungannon Swifts.
The Magherafelt native, who played 14 times for Northern Ireland, starred for Scottish giants Rangers and Hibernian.
He began his professional career with Arsenal but joined Hibs after not breaking into the first team under Arsene Wenger.
Dean was Assistant Manager of Northern Ireland’s women’s team managed by his father Kenny. They will compete in their first ever Euro Finals play-offs which will be played in April.
