Shamrock Rovers have appointed Damien Duff to their first-team coaching staff

The former Republic of Ireland international is aiding Stephen Bradley at Tallaght Stadium.

DAMIEN DUFF HAS joined the Shamrock Rovers first-team coaching staff until the end of the season.

The former Republic of Ireland and Chelsea winger concluded his playing career with a brief stint at Rovers in 2015, making nine league appearances, and has been coaching the clubโ€™s U15 team.

He will assist interim manager Stephen Bradley, who recently succeeded Pat Fenlon. Bradley says that the 37-year-old has been โ€œgreatโ€ to have around.

โ€œDamien has been in with us the last few weeks,โ€ Bradley said. โ€Heโ€™s in coaching with myself, Stephen McPhail and Glenn Cronin, so itโ€™s a good mix. Iโ€™ve obviously known Damien since he came in as a player. Heโ€™s with the youths so I kept in contact with him and I just like his ideas on the game, heโ€™s been great.

โ€œDamien would have very high standards, heโ€™d call it as he sees it. Itโ€™s good to have that, itโ€™s good to bounce off what he did in his own clubs and what we can implement in our training.โ€
