Dunne: 'I want to play for Rovers'

Ireland international Richard Dunne has signaled his desire to sign for Shamrock Rovers once his Premiership playing career is over. Tallaght-born Dunne told the current edition of Hot Press magazine that several current Ireland internationals have expressed interest in joining the eircom League of Ireland. The centre-back, who will win his 34th Ireland cap this Saturday, has also backed Rovers' attempts to relocate to Tallaght.

Dunne is currently considered to be an integral part of the Manchester City defence in the English Premier League. However, he told Hot Press that he sees himself one day lining out for Rovers in the Tallaght Stadium. "I'd definitely consider ending my career at Rovers", said Dunne. "Getting players to come back is definitely something the FAI should look at because it might add 200 or 300 to attendances and start helping the clubs out a bit more. I know from talking to them that a lot of our English-based players would be up for it."
