In December 2019, he stood down as Chairman of the Clare Schoolboys/Schoolgirls Soccer League (CSSL). During his five years with the CSSL, he has been credited with improving the emerging talent structures for underage county teams which has helped Clare footballers receiving League of Ireland opportunities.
