Liam Moffatt has confirmed that he'll be stepping down as Mayo GAA chairman at their Convention in December.

The Crossmolina club man has opted against seeking a third year at the helm due to "personal and business" reasons.

"At a meeting of Coiste Bainistí tonight our Chairperson, Liam Moffatt informed the Officers of the Board that he will not be seeking a nomination for a third term as Chairperson of Mayo GAA at our upcoming convention," Mayo GAA announced in a statement.

"The chairperson indicated that his decision was based on business and personal reasons. I would ask that our Chairman be given the respect he deserves for making a very difficult decision.

"Nominations for Convention will be sent out by Mayo GAA to Clubs in the coming weeks. Once nominations have been submitted, they will be communicated to the Clubs."
