Finn Harps have confirmed that Darren Murphy has signed a new multi-year deal with the club.
Murphy arrived in Ballybofey in 2023 as Assistant Manager to Dave Rogers, before taking over as interim manager after Roger’s departure.
‘Murph’ was handed the reins full-time in last season, guiding the club to a sixth place finish, narrowly missing out on the playoffs.
He told club media: “I’m delighted to have signed a new three year deal. I’ve had a wonderful 2 years at Finn Park.
"The people of Donegal have been tremendous and I have really enjoyed getting to know them and being out and around the county.
"Our supporters are amazing, they are incredibly loyal through thick and thin and while I’m sure there will be bumps in the road ahead, it is a really exciting time for all involved with Finn Harps.
"I’ll give the role everything I have over the next 3 years, as I have for the last two, and continue the hard work that has gone into building the pathway from the club’s academy into the senior team.
"There have been some brilliant news stories from the last season, with plenty of our young players getting senior action, international underage call-ups and trials with top clubs across the water.
"Things are still a work in progress, but I am delighted to be a part of that progress and I’m excited to see where it takes us.
Harps finished sixth in last season's LOI First Division, missing out on a play-off place by one position.
