Former Dublin star Bryan Cullen is back with the county set-up.
Dublin’s 2011 All Ireland winning captain has been appointed as Dublin GAA’s new High Performance Director.
He will leave his role with Leinster Rugby, where he has spent the past four years as strength and conditioning coach.
His new post with the Dublin County Board will focus on developing players between juvenile and senior level, while he will also take a lead role in the strength and conditioning of all of Dublin’s inter-county teams.

Cullen, who was a regular on the panel of 98FM’s Dublin Talks GAA last summer, takes on the role having recently completed his PhD at Dublin City University.
He retired from inter county football last year, after 12 seasons in Blue.
His new post comes after Martin Kennedy, who was the Dublin footballers’ athletic coach, was appointed as the IRFU’s national talent strength and conditioning coach.
