Liam Burt has left rovers by mutual consent. Expected really after he’d been exiled since returning from his loan. You’d wonder if he has another club over here lined up. Drogheda would be ideal so that he can leave them next year for Dundalk to continue his run as king of all judases
Surely he must be in line to join pats and then UCD. Gotta complete the Dublin clubs before moving on to louthQuote:

He needs to re-sign for one of the local rivals in order to complete his loop. Then he can go Drogheda - Dundalk - Drogheda.
We were linked with him alright but I think with Parsons, Rooney & Meekison as senior players and Rhys Brennan having a really good pre season I don't really see a space for him. I doubt he's fit either considering he didn't have a preseason.Quote:

Was it something to do with Bohs turning down a paltry offer and Grehan kicked up?Quote:

Been talk about him for a while, but he wasn't playing today, and looks like it's getting done.
He's 32, so bang on brand for our signings.
Separately, rumours than Pat Hoban is off to Galway. Would be surprised at that, but he may not be starting for us, so understandable.
Reported as £350k over two years in wages. Some of the suggested figures for wages coming out of Derry signings would make your eyes water. They'd really want to be winning the league to pay for this.Quote:

Signing confirmed now.

£40k fee plus add ons too for a 32 year old that was out of contract in July anyways. The boom is truly back :DQuote:

2.5k per week is the highest we're paying. Ridiculous money, but our chairman is a billionaire.Quote:

Derry have been giving long contracts generally too right, which could be a big consideration to players north of 31/2
