I might be wrong here but was he not with Bohs, GLenavon, Bohs, Pats and Fingal and left them at the start of last season in pre season or something like that?

Getting that checked out as I think he might have taken a year out and played junior or possibly GAA for a season.

He's a useful player when he puts the effort in. Two decent signings anyway.

He was definitely playing for Bohs in 2006, I think he was with Pats for a couple of seasons before that spell with Bohs. He must have signed for Glenavon in 06 or 07 because he joined Sporting Franchise when they were formed in 2008, he rarely played for them seemingly struggling with injuries and vanished midway that season

I'm certain with Gill on board as Keely's assistant he'll be dragging many more former Dundalk players like Shanahan to Shels

but shanahan is a very good keeper leave him alone we saw him first!

Caffery played for us last year and he's a good signing for Athlone.

Is there any word on a possible move for wing wizard Shane Fitzgerald?

Well the whole debate here was to determine who Caffrey was with last year!

Wizard? For yere sake he better wave his magic wand so that he does not spend the entire season on the treatment table, and be limited to 20 minutes of football when he does play

Ronan Finn signed for Sporting Fingal. Confirmed on UCD's website.

Massive blow to UCD ahead of the new season and huge coup for Fingal.

**DeNiro** · 08/12/2009, 11:53 AM

Yeh, big loss. A few more might follow. UCD's (very) limited budget will mean that they'll lose players. But they are used to the constant turnover, in fairness they won the first div with a new team. Reckon they will find it hard to stay up. They won't be able to bring any new players in, apart from the scholarship scheme I suspect.
