Thought you'd be interested to know DC's just been released from Stevenage by mutual consent. See here:

Don was very well liked at Stevenage and it's a big shame that his time with us was blighted by injuries and as a result he rarely had a chance to get into the team. He was more recently on loan at Conference National strugglers Braintree Town but I think even his time there was cut short by injury.

Who knows maybe he'll come back to you guys! Is there a couple of months before your season starts in which he could get himsef fit? Mind you I don't know how serious his current injury is.

The highlight of Don's time with us was scoring 4 goals in a rare appearance against our Hertfordshire rivals Barnet in a County Cup match.

Good luck for next season!

He could pick up a higher club than us if he was fit but if he wants to come back we'd certainly welcome him!

Big fan of his. Can't say I wasn't a little relieved that he left before last season - we could've been in a spot of bother come the end of the season another player of his calibre in yere squad. Hope he's back to ye this season, though!

Depends what he gets offered elsewhere but probably not. He may pick up another club in England, depends how bad his injury is. All in all I wouldn't be getting too worked up about him ending up back with us.

If he does come back to Ireland, Longford have as good a chance as anyone of signing him. I don't think the bigger teams will be after him.

Agree with ped_ped. I was relieved when he left ye at the time because he ripped us apart on two occasions. Wouldn't mind seeing him with ourselves.

They should be if they can get him on the right money. He's got a lot of things you want in a striker, power, pace, his finishing improved a lot with games too. Proper out and out pace is rare and valuable in LOI.

Funny enough I cant see him getting another club in England so that gives us some hope however like I said other LOI clubs could offer more.

I see on wikipedia and other fan websites that Don was due to sign for Dundee pending international clearance. No mention of him of what I can see on Dundee's website. I think he was due to sign before they sacked their manager so they might of taken the contract off the table!

I was told he had signed for them the other day but as you said no mention of it anywhere, I see theyve been hit with a winding up order so that should end that.

Is the league of Ireland transfer window not closed as of 31st july until the end of the season, doesn't matter who's available until then, we could always set the wheels in motion by asking if whoever is not at a club is interested for next season

Not sure when it closed, but it doesn't apply to unattached players afaik.

Think Irish Clubs can still sign free agents until the end of August. Either way I presume Town Legend's post was just updating us on where Don is playing.

davy is not as prolific as earlier in the season... He has played a lot of football .. Don could have come in handy as a sub!

7 goals in 12 games in the second half of the season isn't bad going really...

Was wondering what the record was cheers for that. Sully is been asked to do impossible things on his own at times, hitting the ball 20 yards ahead of him and been asked to chase it, it's no wonder he hasn't been as influential recently he looks tired to me. Without him we'd be no where.
