Cheers lads for the info.
Danny and Kevin o Connor, daire, Marty, quigley, Webbie, Hugh Douglas and Gary dempsey have all signed. I heard from a very good source.
I am a bit surprised that Gary Dempsey is back with ye again..I thought that he was happy at Waterford Utd..
Maybe losing the play-off final made up his decision, definately too good for Div 1, also Bray a lot closer too home (Wicklow) than Waterford 20 min v 90 min drive. Good to see the back-bone of last seasons squad sign back and with the addition of Gary and hopefully a couple of more signings we should be at least competitive.Quote:

Don't know, just going by what's being said on here. Would be a MASSIVE blow to lose Quigley. Shels have lost Delaney to Bohs so there could well be some truth in it as they will need to find a replacement for him
Lee Dixon gone to Athlone...Quote:

Dixon is no loss, did nothing when with us last season, would have liked to have held on to Marshall though, looked decent any time he played and a much better end product than Hanlon.
Mulroy is back in Ireland, Florida didn't work out for him and he has said that he will most likely sign back for Bray. Fingers crossed !
Hugh Douglas has re-signed for UCD (not coming so). Gary Dempsey confirms he has signed for Bray.
Any reason why Gary Dempsey is back with ye lads? Is it cos Waterfords budget is cut?
More and likely travelling distance...tough with 2 young kids making long journeys to Waterford and with Bray a lot closer to home.Quote:

Jesus, why? Would knowing how many and who has signed up not help season ticket sales. Very short sighted.Quote:

I'd say no one has been signed for the club as they are all waiting to see if the club gets a license.
The February deadline approaches and there are a lot of questions to answer before they get a licence.
I've said that too in the past, if a players signs then release the news is the way i look at it. But in saying that, this is the way they do things and nout much we can do about it :) They have been burned in the past with players saying we'll sign, the club releasing a press statement and then the player not signing so i suppose they just want to cover themselves and do it all at once when they know the majority of the squad... Doesn't make things easy for the fans though.Quote:

Has Hyland moved for good or is he on loan from Pats?
Has Adam Mitchell not resigned ?
Yeah Dodge, AFAIK he has... Any info on him?
On going talks with Mitch from what i hear. Fingers crossed he signs on again.
Devo was in the paper saying a few lads are coming on trial and they are also in talks with a few other players at the moment too so there will be more players coming in before the season starts.
and then all was ok :) decent squadQuote:

Bidemi Afolabi is a striker as far as im aware
Ex Longford town goalkeeper from last season Craig Hyland is linked with Bray Wanderers acc to todays Sun.
Think this is the same guy he had a few years ago as a teenager. We have 2 keepers already signed up for the 1st team squad so would be surprised if we signed another one considering we need to add defenders to the squad first.Quote:

Yeah great news, especially on Mitch. Hopefully Shane can recapture his form from a few seasons agoQuote:
