2025 Arrivals and Departures

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

I'd say he'll end up at Galway. Seems like a Caulfield type of player.

Shame to see Meekison leave Bohs, I liked him as player but whenever he'd get a run going he'd get hurt.

Rumoured to be heading our way

[Nesta99]

Hopefully things take off for him.

Well it'll be a blast either way!

[nigel-harps1954]

Surprise in that it was announced as a 2 year deal last year. Assuming it must have been 1 with a club option of the second year really.

He was poor when he did play this season. Fourth choice centre back really at this stage. Never really recovered from doing his achiles. Wonder will he head up to Harps.

We’re supposed to be announcing 4 signings this week

Would bite your hand off for Mahon at Harps. Himself and Conor Tourish would be a fairly formidable First Division centre back pairing.

[Buckett]

Well it'll be a blast either way!
He likes playing on astro, not!

[Shinkicker]

Mountney and Meekison gone fron Bohs. Mountney was good at times but he also had a few nights like the one in Drogheda last Friday. We need someone consistently better. Meekison struggled for various reasons and just couldn't catch a break.

Meekison has joined Sligo Rovers. JR offthe mark early!

[nr637]

Cobh Ramblers announce Luka Le Bervet has signed a 2-year full-time senior contract, markinfg the first signing for newly appointed Manager Fran Rockett.

[nr637]

Freddie Anderson, Kitt Nelson & Kaedyn Kamara have left Cork City with the end of their loan spells.

Time to get the locals into the squad!

[brendy_éire]

Mark Connolly is gone. To Dundalk is the rumour.

[sessylU]

Good player. He doesn't have the legs but can be relied on to set the standard, chuck his body into things. Good captain.

[ger121]

Talbot gone now too. Big clear out at Bohs.

My thoughts too. I would like to think they have better replacements lined up. Although I don't think we'll get a better back up player than Talbot. There will be a few clubs scrambling to sign him.

[RealJohn91]

Thought he was a brilliant keeper for his first few seasons at the club but I was surprised when he signed back for last season. Wasted a year of his career pretty much.

[2 Year Contract]

Can see both Talbot and Buckley ending up at Dundalk for some reason. Kind of suits all parties both geographically and playing time wise, while Dundalk are in need of some experienced heads in order to avoid the drop

[Strongbow10]

Athlone rumoured to be making a run at promotion under the new ownership. Very positive noises coming out of the club since the takeover, alot of "lost" fans back on board which is a start.

That would make many a sense for all sorts of reasons.

We all said the same last year and it couldn't have gone worse. You can't out a big enough asterisk beside Athlone regardless of who they sign, anything could happen

They signed half of a Longford team that finished 8th last season. Some of those lads they signed were bad characters too, signing players like Brendan Clarke is a different level all together. Be interesting to see if they can get the likes of Dean Ebbe back there. But you're right, the whole thing could implode any second

[trevy]

Jon Daly confirmed as new Waterford manager.

[Mr A]

Jeez the last I heard of him he was living downstairs from Happy Gilmore

Whatever about onfield disfunction, off the field there are things being done that have not been done in the last 10-15 years in Athlone, namely mending bridges with the locals, forging links with businesses etc.. and football people who would not go near the place under the previous regime. So it's a good start anyway.

Having a CEO and Director of football with some accountability is also a welcome addition to the club, too much cloak and dagger stuff in the last decade, with dissent threatened with legal action etc...

I'd gladly take a solid year of midtable first division football if it meant there was a feel good factor about the place with some academy lads getting a run etc..

[sbgawa]

Stephen Grey was well regarded at Rovers and a big loss to the Academy, with him involved you have someone who is capable of putting the right structures in place for success

[sidewayspasser]

Jon Daly confirmed as new Waterford manager.
https://waterfordfc.ie/2025/11/16/welcome-to-waterford-fc-jon-daly/ Looks like Waterford's website shows the new crest now.

[Nesta99]

As long as its not a seaky new club rather than a rebrand or redesign....

[joey B]

Vincent Borden rumoured to be heading to Kerry after leaving Galway….
