Luke Barrett
Luke Barrett is set to link up with Ciarán Meenagh and the Derry senior football management team for the 2026 campaign.
Ex-Donegal selector Barrett - who most recently coached Loughmacrory to the Tyrone senior club championship - had stepped away from his role with Donegal back in September to “pursue further education.”

In a two-year spell under Jim McGuinness, Barrett helped Donegal to consecutive Ulster Championship titles and was part of the management group that reached the 2025 All-Ireland final, where they were beaten by Kerry, 1-26 to 0-19.
Barrett had recently worked with Meenagh at Loughmacrory and the latter will take over as new Oak Leaf boss having been appointed in July as the replacement for Paddy Tally.
