In his first season at the helm, Gleeson guided Antrim to promotion to Division 1 of the National League and a Joe McDonagh Cup title.
McDonagh success was achieved again in 2022 and the Saffrons have managed to retain their top-tier Championship status ever since.
Wins over Wexford and Carlow ensured that Gleeson’s successor will oversee their third consecutive Leinster SHC campaign in 2025.
Antrim GAA chairperson Séamus McMullan said: “We express our sincere gratitude to Darren for his unwavering dedication, passion and hard work.
