Harte steps down as Derry manager

Mickey Harte has stepped down as manager of the Derry senior footballers.

The Tyrone native was nearing the end of the first year of a three-year term.

Harte led Derry to the Allianz Football League title in March.

However, Derry were beaten by Donegal, Galway and Armagh during the course of the Championship, before a quarter-final loss to Kerry.
