Trevor Croly has been appointed as Assistant Manager to Michael O'Neill at Shamrock Rovers.

Since his playing career ended, Croly has been active in coaching at various League of Ireland clubs, and was recently assistant to John McDonnell at Saint Patrick's Athletic.

Says Michael O'Neill: "When I met Trevor we hit it off immediately. We've got similar attitudes to the game and he's a young coach with a lot of experience in the League of Ireland.

"What also impressed me about Trevor is that he's got a great hunger to develop as a coach. He's achieved a lot already and I believe he will be a great asset to Shamrock Rovers."
