Excellent, Splurge, thanks.
Three new names for me - Stephen Last, Sean Skelly & Shane Dunne.
All ex-Athlone. Last at the back, Dunne in midfield and Skelly a forward.
Last & Dunne were expected to be kept on by Roddy when he came in, but they disappeared for some reason. Skelly was an Irish Schools International a few years ago, and is a brother of Austin.

Out of interest how many of them are Wexford natives or come up through the ranks having played with the Youths. I seem to remember a few people being a little disgruntled with the lack of local lads in the Wexford team the last year or two.Originally Posted by Splurge
Also is Conor Sinnott signing on? Seen his name linked in the last week or so
On FB
17man squad announced, fixtures out tomorrow
Graham Doyle, Craig McCabe, Jimmy Dermody, Stephen Last, CJ Browne, Shane Nolan, Shane Dunne, Ricky Fox, Craig Wall, Eric Molloy, Aidan Keenan, Sean Skelly, Danny Fitzpatrick, Daragh Walshe, Danny Furlong, Dean Broaders, Graham Delaney.
Looks a lot better than i feared it might, shame Conor Sinnot isnt in.

Of the 17, those from Wexford or having come through the Youths would be Craig McCabe, Ricky Fox, Danny Fitzpatrick and Danny Furlong.
Jimmy Dermody, Daragh Walshe, Eric Molloy and CJ Browne are all ex-FC Carlow where Shane Keegan previously managed. Graham Doyle and Deano Broaders are both ex-Freebooters in Kilkenny. Graham Delaney is from Carlow as well but I don't think he played for Carlow but Hanover Harps and Shamrock Rovers. Aidan Keenan is from Laois. Shane Nolan is from Waterford. Craig Wall has played for us for a couple of seasons but got bad injuries twice - not really sure of his footballing background, however.
I am glad Conor Sinnot is not in and would not like to see him back no doubting his football ability but I don't believe he is a team player and from what seen in past when things get tough he does not react well
Shane Nolan may not be from Waterford but he technical came through the ranks and played at underage for the club this will be his 5th season with Wexford

Cant have been the money that made them sign for us
And Miles To Go Before We Sleep
yeah, i've allways wondered about that side of him aswell but i was hoping he'd be back and matured a bit

Sean Skelly was with us in 2011/12 season until he was let go halfway through the season. Where did Youths sign him from? He didnt impress with us at all to be honest.
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Martinho
According to Extratime, he was with Tolka Rovers (LSL) last year.
Good to see Furlong back. Be interesting to see who else signs up, I presume Brandon O'Callaghan and Daryl Power will be added to the squad too.
Daryl is injured and currently signed to the under 19 so would have no doubts there. Brandon was at pre season but there was another keeper there as well so maybe then are looking at someone else but I hope Brandon does sign up
Have heard rumour that Anto Russell is to rejoin. Played with us up to a few years ago, including the famous first match against Monaghan in March 2007. Would be good addition as he's experienced and would give us a third centre half.
Nathan West, ex Waterford and Shamrock Rovers, has signed for the Youths according to his own and Wexford Youth tweets. I think he's a forward.
According to Wexford Youths tweets, Peter Higgins, Kilian Cantwell and Ben Ryan have signed, all ex-Waterford. Ben Ryan was with us before and is a very useful performer.
Tom Elmes back with Wexford this season?
Dermotron
Tom switched to coaching midway through last season and I don't think we'll see him in this year's squad.
Johnny St Ledger has signed according to his Twitter account. Former Waterford U19.
Brandon O'Callaghan, Jason McHugh, Danny Fitzpatrick and Graham Delaney have been released according to the club's website. None of them has featured much this year. Best of luck to them.
Daragh Walshe, Ricky Fox and C.J. Browne released this week
