Larkin joins Eamonn Scallan’s set-up having previously been appointed as manager of Carlow outfit Ballinkillen last November.
“Kilkenny’s Eoin Larkin has joined Eamonn Scallan’s backroom team,” a statement from Wicklow GAA reads.
“Eoin has come on board as coach and adviser for the Wicklow Senior Hurling team.
“The 8-time All-Ireland winner and two time All-Star brings a wealth of experience to the role. Best of luck for the year ahead Eoin.”

Larkin won his first senior All-Ireland medal in 2006, a year after his debut, and went on to play an instrumental role for a dominant Kilkenny team.
In addition to his eight All-Irelands, he also picked up 10 Leinster titles, six National League medals and two All-Stars. He also won two All-Ireland U21 titles with the Cats, as well as the All-Ireland club title in 2005 with James Stephens.
