Rovers still in the market for striker as four youngsters re-sign

Shamrock Rovers today confirmed new contracts for Sean Boyd, Trevor Clarke, Shane Hanney and James Doona.

The news comes soon after Rovers announced the signings of Dave McAllister and new contracts for Aaron Bolger, Dean Dillon and Luke Kiely earlier this week.

Speaking today Rovers’ Head Coach Stephen Bradley said: “I am delighted to get these signings done, it’s great that the young lads see their future here as they did have interest from elsewhere.

“They showed everyone their abilities last season so now they have to build on that. They have to prove their ability again this season.

“Our squad is about 2-3 weeks away from being fully complete, we should be able to make announcements very soon on goalkeepers and we’re still in the market for a striker.

“It was always the plan to get the squad done early as I see it being a massive advantage. We knew the players we wanted so that was a bonus, too.”
