The Donegal statement made no reference to any permanent appointment for Championship.
Armagh All-Ireland-winner O’Rourke, a performance sport manager at Queen’s University Belfast, joined the Donegal set-up having previously been involved with Kildare, Down, Louth, and Armagh.
Former Derry All-Star Bradley was a selector in his first senior inter-county role, having managed his native county’s Under-20 side.

Donegal travel to Dr Hyde Park to face Roscommon on Sunday with relegation to Division 2 all but confirmed.
Since beating a weakened Kerry side on the opening day, they have lost four games and drawn with Galway, scoring only 1-64 across the campaign.
The bottom side’s Hail Mary shot at survival requires a win against Roscommon, Monaghan to draw with Mayo, and Armagh to lose to Tyrone with a 30-point swing in scoring difference.
