Is Ryan Doolin still with Athlone?
Have others apart from Foley been released in the last few weeks do you know?

Doolin and Garreth Brady left before him, neither were getting any game time.
What about Mulroney? He is also gone from the Lineups and not appearing on the injury news.
Also what about Declan Brennan in UCD he was reported to be part of the roster, but I haven't seen him making a single game.
Mulroney was starting up until a few weeks ago, haven't heard anything about him leaving. The weekly injury news isn't very thorough.
Hearing a couple of our better players could be leaving soon. And if one of them is true it will cause alot of problems for Athlone i think.
I think we could hazard a guess as to why Foley asked to be released, with certain changes being made recently.
Graham Cummins has signed for St. Johnstone.
Pronounced smile lines. Very mature looking boy for his age.
He was reared in Drogheda,prob explains that ;)
I was having a look at the released list from Championship clubs and there are a few players that could move to the League of Ireland:
Paul Corry (ex-Wednesday)
Alan Dunne (ex-Millwall)
Noel Hunt (ex-Ipswich)
Stephen Hunt (ex-Ipswich)
Jake Carroll (ex-Huddersfield)
Mark O'Brien (ex-Derby)
Paddy McCourt (ex-Brighton)
Keith Andrews (ex-Bolton)
Colin Doyle (ex-Birmingham)
Ian Harte (ex-Bournemouth)
Danny Galbraith and Padraig Amond are also free agents this summer after leaving Gillingham and Morecombe.
I doubt that Harte, Andrews, O'Brien, the Hunt brothers and Alan Dunne would move back.
Andrews is doing his coaching badges and has a burgeoning media career. Harte is retirement age and I doubt he would come back at 38 to play LOI. Dunne is a Londoner, he has been raised in London since he was small; he also could get a decent League One team no problem. O'Brien has already been linked with several L1 and SPL teams including Burton Albion. Stephen Hunt has the profile to get one last decent move in England and his brother likewise after a good cameo at Ipswich.
If the right offer came along, I'd imagine there's nothing to stop any of them playing the rest of the season here at least and possibly a European campaign. Certainly the likes of Corry, Carroll, McCourt and Doyle would be great additions for some of the sides going into Europe in July.
Towell and Horgan linked with Bolton: http://talkofthetown.ie/2015/06/05/b...an-and-towell/
