Pretty much!
Family is from Cork, I'm not sure how long they are in Athlone though. Came through on the same youth team as Carmine Russo, (and Noel McGee who is staying with us).
Wearing No.4? Going by RonnieB's photos, that doesn't look like Brian McCarthy.Quote:

Thought he was a decent enough player for the First Division myself. A little lacking in pace maybe but he was far from our worst player last season. I would have kept him all things being equal.Quote:

I'd assume it would depend on how much training he'd have to do, think that was why he couldn't commit to Shels, he's got a good new job recently that wouldn't leave him as free as he was before that. He may not be as stuck for cash either though which could be a help and he's always thought fondly of his time with the Town as far as I know. Still, we'll see if it comes off or not.
i always thought he was a class act with us..never forget his goal curled into the top corner against waterford in flancare in the cup
Yeah he gave some great displays for us and earned us 55k when Drogs came in for him!. Injuries always disrupted his career though, right from when he was with Wolves.
I'd take Shane back even if he couldn't train once a week. Would be amazing to get him back... When Shaney goes up and down the wing... BARRETT BARRETT
