Mick Cooke has been appointed the new manager of Bray Wanderers.
The new appointment comes following the departure of Trevor Croly last week. Croly stepped down after just two months in charge at the Carlisle Grounds, reportedly due to a dispute regarding the payment of players' wages.
In a statement the club said:

Mick has had a long involvement in Irish Football – he played with St Patrick’s Athletic, Drogheda United , Shamrock Rovers and Galway United.

He is contracted to end 2016 season.
