Stephen Rochford says he has had "no contact" from Mayo County Board officials regarding the vacant Mayo senior football manager's job.

Rochford remains in charge of reigning All-Ireland club champions Corofin and he oversaw the Galway side's victory over Mohill on Sunday as they successfully opened the defence of their Connacht crown.

The Crossmolina clubman has been strongly linked with the Mayo job but insists there's nothing happening on that front at present.

Rochford told the Irish Independent that there has been no contact, and he’s very much focused on Corofin at present.

He said there are a couple of things happening in Mayo and, as he indicated in the past, it is something that would interest him but whether now is going to be the time or not is probably something we will know in the next seven days.

However, he insists his main interest at the moment is preparing Corofin for the Connacht semi-final away to St Mary's in Sligo on Sunday week.

James Horan meanwhile has ruled out a return as Mayo Senior Football manager.

Writing in yesterday’s Western People and Daily Star, he said that he did consider putting his name forward for a short time after the resignation of Pat Holmes and Noel Connelly but decided against it.
