FORMER ALL-IRELAND-winning Dublin footballer Jack Sheedy is keen on being considered for the vacant Wexford senior football manager’s position.

The five-timeLeinsterchampionship winner guided Moorefield to the Kildare senior football title in 2010 – but he departed that job last weekend when the Newbridge outfit suffered a surprise quarter-final exit.

Sheedy was in the running for the Offaly post last year, and there was some anger in that county when he was overlooked by the committee.

Wexford’s Football Advisory Committee, chaired by Seamus Fitzhenry (Duffry Rovers), met last week, and they have been instructed byCountyChairman, Diarmuid Devereux to spread the net wide in trying to identify Jason Ryan’s successor.

Other names linked to the vacancy are Kevin Kehoe and Aidan O’Brien ofGoodCounselCollege, New Ross fame, together with current Castletown boss Tim Walsh, and Kilanerin manager Kevin O’Brien, the former Wicklow star, who, EchoSport has been informed, Sheedy is keen on having as part of his ticket.
