2017 Squad

[ForzaForth]

Club website has confirmed that Lee Grace has left the club. Best of luck to him - many people's player of the season in 2016. You'd expect him to get a premier division spot without any difficulty.

[ForzaForth]

Wexford Youths are planning to release a statement this evening (Friday) on its squad for 2017.

[ForzaForth]

Only one player announced last night but a good start with confirmation that Craig McCabe has re-signed.

[ForzaForth]

Andy O'Connor now confirmed for next season. Would expect him to do very well in the First Division.

[ForzaForth]

Goalkeeper Graham Doyle now confirmed for 2017.

[ForzaForth]

Sligo Rovers have confirmed that Chris "Hopper" Kenny has signed from the Youths for 2017.

[ForzaForth]

Shane "Duxey" Dunne will be with the club again in 2017.

[ForzaForth]

Craig Wall has signed for the club for 2017. He didn't play in 2016 so it's great to have him back.

[ForzaForth]

Our best young player, Eoin Porter, has re-signed for 2017. Good prospect.

[ForzaForth]

John McKeown, ex Cabinteely and Longford, has signed for the Youths for 2017.

[ForzaForth]

Pre-season training started for the Youths last night. Would expect a few more squad announcements over the coming days.

[ForzaForth]

Lee Duffy, ex Drogheda and Longford, now confirmed as having signed for the 2017 season.

now thats a surprise. wonder why he left us so suddenly.

[Town Legend]

now thats a surprise. wonder why he left us so suddenly.

He wasn't training Marty. Mathews said if he wanted to play he'd have to train. Duffy didn't want to train so Mathews showed him the door.

so I wonder what is the difference this time? Why would he not train when he was under contract?

[Town Legend]

Probably nothing different this time. Will start of the season a good boy training and if the season goes pear shaped expect no shows at training but will still turn up every Friday or Saturday looking for a game. Did he not do something similar at Drogheda?

Yeah he was one of the 6 or 7 players that didn't bother training at drogs after the got smashed by Dundalk. Apparently he wouldn't train with us Coz of his dodgy ankle so but the club arranged an operation for him and he didn't bother going for it and just stopped training altogether so was shown the door. Great natural talent but forget about it if he's coming down with the attitude of Wexford Been a small club and him been a big fish.

[outspoken]

It's not all bad tho, John McKeown is a great signing.

[ForzaForth]

Thomas Croke has returned to the club for the 2017 season.

[eitoof]

Did Aidan Keenan return for 2017?

[ForzaForth]

eitoof

Sorry for not replying. No, Aidan didn't return - retired I'm pretty sure. Had a lot of injury problems last season.

[ForzaForth]

The club has announced that Sean Eve and John McKeown have left the club. Neither was getting a lot of game-time.

Lee Duffy is injured at the moment. Haven't heard where John has gone but the club wished him well in his future career.

[ForzaForth]

Lee Duffy has left the club according to the club's website.

[Martinho II]

Lee Duffy has left the club according to the club's website.

whats up with him? he did the same with us this time last year also. not the most reliable of people Im afraid.

[ForzaForth]

Suffered from injuries and missed a fair bit of game time. Disappointed to see him go but, to me, he's definitely a winger and not suited to playing a lone target man which he did on a number of occasions for us.

[ForzaForth]

Wexford signing a player on loan tomorrow (Saturday) according to the club's website. Have also signed AJ Lehane who played with us before and Conor Dunne in recent days.

yep thats him. He joined us from start of 2015 season from Shamrock Rovers B but only lasted half the season and couldnt make the first team!

[ForzaForth]

Liam Donnelly has left the squad due to work commitments. Unlucky not to get more game time. Best of luck to him. As a Wexford native, he may be back.

[ForzaForth]

Wexford have signed a new keeper, Danny Bolger, from Carlow. The current keeper, Corey Chambers, is due to depart before the end of the season on a scholarship to USA.
