Eddie Gormley has replaced Tony McGuirk as manager of bottom-of-the-table Bray Wanderers.

McGuirk took charge at the Carlisle Grounds in May following Pat Devlin's switch to the Republic of Ireland set-up but the club won just two league games in that spell.

Gormely (37) is a former Bray player and has worked as coach and then assistant to McGuirk.  He takes control until season's end and will be in charge for tomorrow's trip to Drogheda United.
