New signings/departures

Wouldn't have thought McCarthy had any interest in coming back somehow, he would see himself playing at a higher level.

King is living and studying in Galway and isn't coming back this season as there's too much travel involved for him...

thats a cnut.

Don't see McCarthy getting into a Premier Division team at the moment personally. He is talented but he makes a lot of mistakes. He's still young so he may improve but at the moment he wouldn't get his game at that level I reckon. Galway could do a lot worse than signing up Tom King as an option for their squad.

Adrian Murphy is hoping to go to college in the UK come summer time so you won't have him for a full season regardless.

In other news, Aaron Shanahan is signing back....

thats super news about Shanahan as hes better than Danny O'Leary.. with the other goalie being Thomas Hyland i assume O'Learys not coming back..

Thats interesting about Adrian Murphy training with ye. He was top scorer for Athlone during his one season with them in 2004. I would be sorry to see Murph and Gary Curran leave if thats the case but its the managers perogrative.Stephen Lynch made only one appearance for us senior wise .

Its beginning to take shape now...

Stephen Conlon is a goalkeeper, he was Rovers A team sub keeper last season as far as i know

**Longfordian** · 17/01/2010, 6:35 PM

Hope Hyland "tallies assists" with some "serves" for us

**Acornvilla** · 17/01/2010, 10:02 PM

**Tallanted** · 18/01/2010, 4:32 PM

Apparently Hyland had a spell at crumlin united too

Shanahan took part in the training sessions for out of work players ran by the pfai yesterday and for the next couple of weeks

And Brian McCarthy too I see. Though if they agree deals they can start training with their new clubs straight away. Our pre-season training hasn't started yet I believe.
Hopefully Shanahan will be on board for the season.

I look forward to detailed notes on all happenings Marty

**RonnieB** · 19/01/2010, 5:25 PM

David Ennis is a goalkeeper.

**Longfordian** · 19/01/2010, 5:36 PM

Yeah I saw that elsewhere. He and Clarke may have been with the under 20s last season.
