Connacht have appointed former Limerick hurling Coach Michael Kiely as head of athletic performance
Kiely spent last season as athletic performance coach with Ulster rugby. Kiely has also completed a PhD in exercise physiology and strength & conditioning.
The Limerick man replaces David Howarth who has moved on after five-years in the role.
KIely is perhaps best known for his time with the Limerick senior hurling team, where as head of athletic performance until 2021 he played a key role in the county’s three All-Ireland titles in four years.
