Under-21 international Kieran Sadlier has moved from Peterborough to Sligo Rovers. A reverse-Forrester, kind of.

Under-21 international Kieran Sadlier has moved from Peterborough to Sligo Rovers. A reverse-Forrester, kind of.

When I was sussing the Posh supporters' reaction to Forrester on their forum, I noted a number complaining that Sadlier hadn't been given an opportunity in spite of a good showing during the pre-season.

Also, his Wikipedia page states that he was asked back to St. Mirren at the end of last season but that he wanted to move back to England. Having lived in and around London for most of his life, it will be interesting to see if he acclimatises to Sligo.

[SkStu]

It'll be interesting to see how he handles the step up in quality.
