McGeeney said that was "delighted to welcome" McCorry to his team.

"With his previous experience and success, he brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise, and we are looking forward to working with him," added the Armagh boss.

McCorry's management successes with clubs including guiding Kilcoo to three Down football titles in four years.

The Armagh man also steered Mayobridge to a Down title and an Ulster Final appearance.
