Prendergast is a good signing for you.

**ATFC-1887** · 27/11/2013, 12:56 AM

Peter Hynes set to sign as far as i know! What do the Drogs lads make of him?

If he's that good how come it took him so long into the season to tke the first team shirt.

You'd have to ask your good friend Harry Redknapp, but I would imagine it was because Sava had been goalkeeper of the year the previous season and Mick wanted to give him a good chance to recapture that form.

I always liked him. It would be a strange one though because Mick lost faith in him last year and he played very little football.
Prendergast is a great signing.

According to Wikipedia he has played for 10 Irish clubs over the last 10 years (2004 to 2013):

Dublin City
Dundalk
Newry
Derry City
UCD (loan)
Sporting Fingal
Shelbourne
Longford
Limerick
Drogheda

I think it fair to say that he made a limited impression all along the way

When he arrived to us he had an awful reputation for being lazy. We were glad to see he was the exact opposite. He was a workhorse doing all the donkey work up front. He became a bit of a fans favourite amongst most. Had hoped he would re-sign that time. He seemed to do well the following season (2012) then for Drogs.

He produced some good form in 2012 for Drogheda. If he repeats that at Athlone, he'll be a good signing. However, 2012 was his only good season, as far as I can recall.

Correct and right. He alw He alw He alw He always does the DONKEY work.
Decent target man on his day to be fair.

He was lazy with Dundalk.

Hynes was excellent the whole way through the 2012 season, he was in the running for our player of the year. He fell out of favour for no obvious reason at the start of 2013 & only ever played a bit part through the season.
