The former Kerry great will be brought in as part of Armagh’s management team for 2021.
‘Star’ has a background in basketball and this knowledge is likely key to his role in the Orchard County set up.
Kieran Donaghy proved to be one of the best full forwards of his generation and his link up play with Colm Cooper brought plenty of success to the Kingdom.
Donaghy played on the 2011 International Rules side that defeated Australia 130 to 65 across two games.
Kieran McGeeney was part of Anthony Tohill’s management team that year while Ciaran McKeever was the sides vice-captain.
The four-time All-Ireland winner played against Armagh three times throughout his career, once in the Championship back in 2006.
