Shamrock Rovers have once again swooped into the transfer Market by signing striker Andy Myler from Longford Town. This brings the club’s summer signings to five, as the club has already secured the services of Mark O'Brien (on loan), Vinny Perth, Andy Doolin and Anto Flood (on loan).
The vastly experienced Myler began his professional career at UCD, and played for Monaghan United, Athlone Town, Waterford United and Drogheda United before Longford.
``I’m delighted to be joining Shamrock Rovers,’’ he says. ``My family is Rovers through and through, and it’s always been an ambition of mine to wear the famous green and white Hoops. ``I’ve been very impressed by Pat Scully and what he’s aiming to do at Rovers. The club has had a tough few years but it’s heading in the right direction now.’’
Rovers’ boss Scully is equally pleased with his dealings during the first week of the July transfer window, which sees his squad considerably strengthened.
``I had a list of players I was hoping to sign and so far I’m very happy with our transactions,’’ he says. ``We’ve attracted some very talented and experienced players. ``As well as signing Andy Myler, Vinny Perth and Andy Doolin, we’ve also got Mark O’Brien and Anto Flood on loan for the rest of the season. It’s very exciting. ``The competition for places will be intense, but that can only be good for Rovers,’’ he adds. ``We want to up the pace and make a push for the championship.’’
Myler (30) is expected to make his debut for Shamrock Rovers in Friday’s top-of-the table clash against Limerick at Hogan Park, this season’s first league meeting between the sides.
ENDS
Welcome home Andy. Plenty of goals to look forward to.
