Paul Galvin is part of the Kilmacud Crokes' coaching team with the Dublin club chasing down a fourth county senior football title in a row.

Crokes brought in the former Kerry star at the beginning of the season and their manager Robbie Brennan has said that his involvement has benefited the team.

Kilmacud Crokes shared the spoils with Thomas Davis in their final group game last weekend, extending their unbeaten streak to 21 games in the Dublin SFC, going back to 2018.

They are now looking ahead to a quarter final clash with Ballyboden St Enda's, having beaten their near-neighbours by eight points in last year's final. The game takes place on Saturday September 21 at 5.30 in Parnell Park.

Galvin was present in O'Toole Park last weekend, taking a section of the team's warm-up before taking his place to watch the game at the side of their dug-out, as reported by Paul Keane in the Irish Examiner.

The 2009 Footballer of the Year managed Wexford in recent years and was also a part of Kildare's backroom team under Glenn Ryan.

He has also reportedly been linked to a role with the new Lilywhites management team, spearheaded by Brian Flanagan.

Kilmacud Crokes manager Robbie Brennan says there are 'two or three really specific things he goes after,' with the evidence seen in their numbers/stats.

Crokes have been without star forward Shane Walsh throughout their campaign so far as he continues to nurse injuries that restricted him during Galway's run to the All-Ireland final.

They also have new faces in their ranks, Na Gaeil goalkeeper Devon Burns and Sligo forward Paddy O'Connor.

"He's got two or three really specific things he goes after and we can actively see it in our games and see it in our numbers and what we do," Brennan told the Examiner of Galvin's role, "It's been brilliant to get him."

"He's got certain things he goes after and he's been driving those standards with the lads and our numbers would show that that's went up since he's come in so it's a big plus to have him."

Galvin won four All-Irelands and three All-Stars as a player.
