No. Players who are out of contract can move freely regardless of age. For example Enda Stevens joined Rovers this year. No fee was due to Pats (or indeed UCD). Loads of others examples too, just giving the one that involves all 3 clubs (Ian bermingham could be another)
If Kilduff was with Pats for a year and then signed for, say, Birmingham for a fee. UCD and Rovers would then be entitled to a bit of this (for development)
BTW I've no idea how UCD's scholarship scheme works. That may tie them to the football club for the length of their studies. Thats the nature of most rumours, rarely well informed
