Former Down player and Cavan Boss Liam Austin has entered the race to become Senior manager of Louth.
Austin, who was also in the running for the Louth job 4 years ago, has been nominated by a club, ahead of tonight's 12 midnight deadline.
Paddy Clarke, whose just completed 4 years at the helm, remains favourite to continue in the job following wins over Tipperary and Offaly in the recent All-Ireland Qualifiers, however the presence of Austin in the list of potential candidates should made it interesting.
