Abbeyfeale, Co Limerick afaik.

Griffen signing for Derry at last.
LMFM RADIO @LMFMRADIO
LMFM sport Dundalk striker Mark Griffen is undergoing a medical will sign for @derrycityfc and joins Michael Rafter at the Brandywell.
Good luck to the two lads in Derry for 2013, both are still young and good potential there. Rafter finally showed good professionalism in the play off games, worked his socks off the 2-2 home draw, especially on his own up front for 60 mins. And his two goals in the away leg was obviously the difference between the sides.
Probably disappointed to see Griffen go, but he didnt have a great 2012. Maybe a change of scene will do him well. Derry must have big hopes for these two guys. I would never have thought the Dundalk strike force of 2012 would have been on anyones radar, but there you go.
Hopefully the compensation fee due for Griffin will allow us to get a replacement in.

Peter Hutton quoted as saying he's been talking to a whole host of players, but they've been asking for ridiculous amounts of money, and we won't be paying out any sort of big money for players.
A fair few trialists in action for Harps tonight too. Couple of decent players linked.

Rory Kelly, the young keeper having apparently left Finn Harps, has gotten #findroryaclub trending on Twitter.
Is he any good?

Second choice at Harps last year, and by a long way too. Only got a game when Ciaran Gallagher was injured. He's not that great to be honest. A good intermediate level goalkeeper. Bit of potential in him, but he's very light for this level. Could do with bulking up a lot.
Genuinely surprised, but at the same time delighted for him, that he got so far in the win a contract at Swindon/Leyton Orient competition.

A lot of the young keepers in the Academy and Reserves in England are quite light from anything I've seen. They probably have more time to develop their keepers than a LOI team.

Apologies if this has been posted but Dave O'Leary signed a new deal at Limerick, as expected http://www.limerickfc.ie/dave-oleary-signs
No way either us or Derry were going to pay compensation fee.
Delighted with this.
The clubs must have thought about paying a fee otherwise they never would have even considered signing him.
Pat Purcell also re-signed http://www.limerickfc.ie/terms-agreed

Dave o leary is a top top player delighted he resigned i think he will be twice as good next season been givin more time on the ball in the premier. That's Stephen Bradley Joe gamble Dave o leary done good strong midfield keep um coming :-)
report limerick to the pfai there for snatching a child off the streets of cork as a 16 yo and signing him first as an amateur then on pro terms and now and extension to his existing contract. Dont think he ever went to UL either always been at UCC since he went to college. Maybe now that DOL has signed with Limerick maybe the cork lads will relax with the posts about them i mean Denis Behan being released has freed up two grand a week to Taylors 2.2 million daily budget
Please god let us not sign Behan. Since the day he left us I've been hoping there'd be enough mugs out there to take him on. Waste of space.
Mark Rossiter tweeted that he's signed for Dundalk.
