Jake Hyland is familiar to me. Who did he play for in the LOI?

[atfconline]

A quick search says Bohs.

Jake Hyland is familiar to me. Who did he play for in the LOI?

Played for Bohs last year I think.

[ATFC-1887]

Have no recollection of him. League site has him making one appearance away to Mervue for us, but it was Mark Hughes who played.
He signed on loan from Pats but soon fell out with Roddy and his loan was cancelled

[Jd2793]

Add

DF: Roy Butler

MF: Darren Murphy

Strange thought Darren Murphy had signed for Cobh?

Different players. The one who signed for WUFC is the one was with us for the second half of last season but got injured after a couple of games and has re-signed.

Aido Collins gone to Shels, last member of our 2013 League winning side to move on.

[outspoken]

Heard Daryl Carrigy from Longford is going on loan to ye as well.

[nigel-harps1954]

Marco Chindea
Simon Dixon
Calvin Douglas
Kevin Farragher

Distinct lack of a 'keeper there ahead of the Pats game!

What about Conor Barry? I thought he had also joined Athlone?

[atfconline]

Hadn't heard any mention of him, but I see it on the Galway forum now alright.

It's not always the most reliant, but the League site also has him down as a Town player.

http://inform.fai.ie/Statsportal/PlayerDetails.aspx?playerID=126029

Good addition?

He barely got any game time, so it's very hard to judge. Barry came on as a substitute on a few occasions but they were usually nothing games. I don't think he even played in league cup games for us.

He's a very small attacking midfielder who usually plays on the wing or in the hole. He definitely has some potential but he never got a chance to prove his worth.

In what will presumably be quite a young squad at Athlone, he could do well.

Jack Tuite

from whom?

[atfconline]

Derby for a few seasons, not sure if he was with anyone after coming home.

[Charlie Darwin]

He was at UCD u19s last season. Still eligible for that level I think.

Eoghan O' Connell signs for City on loan from Celtic.

This is a very good signing for Cork even though its only until 1 July, he should go straight into the side, by all accounts he is well thought of at Celtic.

Cork starting to look a lot stronger compared to last season.

shamrock rovers wexford is that the one in Enniscorthy Frosty?

Yes Marty

[**FrOsTy**]

Waterford United would like to confirm the signings of James O'Brien, Richard Tobin and Yohan Fellrath ahead of the 2016 SSE Airtricity League of Ireland season. A full squad list will be announced after training tomorrow (Saturday).

[nigel-harps1954]

Yoann Fellrath should be an interesting signing. There was mixed reports about his trial with Harps, seems ridiculously athletic but not much in the way of footballing ability. Could be a decent First Division player.

[Martinho II]

james o brien is that the ex bohs and longford town and athlone town player?

[Charlie Darwin]

Yoann Fellrath should be an interesting signing. There was mixed reports about his trial with Harps, seems ridiculously athletic but not much in the way of footballing ability. Could be a decent First Division player.
And Ollie didn't sign him?

[joey B]

And Ollie didn't sign him?

Ollie targeted the silky skills and superior technique of Dave Scully instead !!!

[nigel-harps1954]

And Ollie didn't sign him?

More to the point, Ollie didn't sign Wilfried Tagbo back either. We'd have had two French athletes in the squad then more capable of going to the Olympics than playing football.

[**FrOsTy**]

Yes Marty.

Also, Tobin is a young player from Carrigaline, I dont know much about him. Maybe some Cork guys do.

From what I've seen of him he looks to be a really hard working player, who'll give you his all, but maybe lacking in technical ability, in saying that I only seen him against Cork, where none of our players looked like they had technical ability.
