Stephen Henderson has been appointed as Shelbourne's Head of Youth Development - less than a fortnight on from resigning as Cobh Ramblers boss.
Henderson, with more than a dozen years as a manager in the SSE Airtricity League, will lead and oversee the development of the club’s academy structures and underage teams.
"I'm very grateful to the club for affording me this opportunity," said the Dubliner. "Our job at the academy is to ensure we give the young players every opportunity to reach their potential through structured training sessions, lots of encouragement and really good information.
"There are some great coaches at the club and I’m really looking forward to working with them and the players closely over the coming season."
Reds boss Ian Morris commented: “I'm absolutely delighted to welcome Stephen to Shelbourne. His record in developing young players is there for all to see.
"He knows exactly what it takes for young players to play at senior level and that will form part of his remit which is developing players, with the ultimate aim of passing as many of them as possible from our youth system into myself in the first team."
