I presume Lims have offered him an improved contract otherwise he might walk ?

You should probably take some of that steel and use it to shore up the club, given the way they have of folding like wet cardboard every few years down there.

Bray Wanderers In
Jamie McGlynn (Shelbourne)
Graham Kelly (Athlone Town)
Shane Redmond (re-signed)

Out
Daire Doyle (Drogheda Utd)

Only have to offer the same or improved as his previous contract to stop a player being allowed to just walk. If no one is willing to pay compensation I think his only other option than us is junior soccer.

Jack Doherty went from Waterford to Ipswitch Town last summer.

Seani Maguire and Aaron McCarey are 2 I can think of off the top of my head, has there been many more?

Paul Craig possibly? Was on trial with Cork already.

We're signing Mark Stewart, Scottish fella at Kilmarnock, according to today's Derry Journal.

David Elebert (ex Shamrock Rovers), Francis McCaffery (ex Dundalk), Shane OConnor (Porterdown) and Lee Toland (ex finn harps) all on trial with Derry. Any Rovers, Harps or Dundalk fans got views on these guys?

Rumour that dynamic young midfielder Boccer Bailey signs for the Hoops, presume its a p### take?

Former Shalke midfielder, Graham Fisher, on trial with Dundalk.

Toland?! Hah! That's funny...he wasn't good enough for Harps. Never made the grade at all. One of those players I wasn't in the slightest bit disappointed to see let go by Horgan.

McCaffrey came in during the summer to us but made very little impression really. He was never going to shift Towell and O'Donnell but when he did play he didn't really do much. I'd be a bit concerned if that is type of players that Derry are looking at.

Liam Kearney signed back with Cork City.

Josh O'Hanlon's move to Bournemouth now complete. Seems we got around £50k for him which is a nice little bonus.

It's been said on our own forum that Conor Winn signed for Harps last night, however true it is.
