Good to see. The more Irish lads who choose to come home rather than play League 2 or League 1 can only be good for the league.

Wolves have signed 18 year old defender Matt Doherty from Bohs. Mick apparently rates him very highly.

Mick seems to have a good eye for young Irish talent and seems to develop young players as well, so happy to get another defender moving to a higher level.

Any Bohs fans have thoughts on this guy?

In fairness Mick gives young Irish players a great chance and I for one am grateful to Mick for that.

They've both already lost to Chris Coleman

Tets, If you' re referring to Coventry and the one or two Irish players there, the manager is Aidy Boothroyd.

Padraig Amond, after scoring 17 goals so far for Sligo this season, has signed for Portuguese side Pacos de Ferreira. Good move for him, as they play in the top flight there.

[tetsujin1979]

If anyone wants to volunteer to track Amond's progress in Portugal for Irish Abroad, similar to TheBoss and irishfan86 tracking Sheridan and McGeady, I'll set it up for them

Bradford City sign Watford's Rob Kiernan on loan

Bradford City have signed defender Rob Kiernan on loan from Watford.

The 19-year-old centre-back has been brought in as cover for the injured Steve Williams, who has a groin strain.

Kiernan will remain at Valley Parade until 5 January and will go straight into the City squad for Saturday's match at Wycombe Wanderers.

The defender has been at Watford since the age of nine and has been capped at both under-19 and under-21 level for the Republic of Ireland.

May not be 2010 but I figure posting here is better than starting a new thread (probably should go by season rather than year I suppose anyway). There have been a flurry of Irish transfers today.

[tetsujin1979]

it's not a loan, Collins has signed an 18 month contract: http://www.shrewsburytown.com/page/NewsDetail/0,,10443~2260488,00.html

Town have bolstered their attacking options with the agreement to sign young striker James Collins on a permanent deal from Aston Villa.

Any stats on how he did with the first Turkish club?...Tets....
sorry, wasn't tracking him
I did put out a request for a volunteer to record his stats earlier in the season (like TheBoss and irishfan86 are for Sheridan and McGeady), but nobody responded.
