Ronan Coughlan released. John Kav confirmed to Harps on loan til the summer.

There is little doubt Cork would benefit significantly from a striker with pace and mobility - is Nash supposed to have those qualities?

It must be difficult to understand JC's approach to player recruitment - last season he signed a load of full backs, this season he is turfing out players with only recently signed contracts. Presumably Ronan Coughlan, like others before him this close season, would have had to get some type of settlement of his contract

Coughlan was moved on to pay for Nash. Coughlan clearly wasn't going to work out so it was the right call I think. It didn't work out. I'm sure he got something but I doubt it was near full value of contract or moving him on wouldnt have made sense.

Nash is being signed for pace and finishing, apparently. Whether it works out like that? Who knows. He doesn't have enough of a track record to be overly excited. Did well enough in pre season but the quality of opposition wasn't high enough to really judge.

It gives a different option anyway which was needed. Fingers crossed.

Shamrock Rovers confirm signing of striker Orhan Vojic and goalkeeper Leon Phols

https://shamrockrovers.ie/2019/02/13...jic-and-pohls/

Can anyone explain what Stephen Bradley might mean by this observation about Vojic?

Bradser said
A lot of our attackers are good footballers and come off and play whereas Orhan thinks about the other side of the attacking game so it’s a good mix for us to have

Well Dan Carr drops deep to get the ball does skiil and gets by players from what ive seen of Vojic he stays higher up the pitch and makes runs behind the defence,

He's a big target man

Agree with that he looked good against Cabo took his goal well. Hopefully he is the centre forward we have been searching for

Are hey two of the trialists who featured with Waterford in the friendlies? Or just arrived

Sligo have signed Ronan Coughlan from Cork.

They've also announced they'll now not be signing the random Nigerian buck they had unveiled a few weeks ago due to international clearance issues.

Aaron Barry on loan to Bohs until the summer. Looks like we're bringing in another striker, possibly on loan from the UK today. I think it might be a younger player though so low expectations.

That young striker turned out to be 21 year old Matthew or Matty Gillam from Rochdale. On loan until July 1st. Hard to know how good he is, he has scored a couple of goals at L1 level and a few more in the EFL trophy.

Derry City confirm signing of Michael McCrudden from Institute.........

https://www.derrycityfc.net/2019/02/...-move-to-city/

Derry City can confirm that Michael McCrudden has joined the club from Institute FC.
The player had agreed to join the club during the summer, having signed a pre-contract agreement in recent weeks. However following discussions between the two clubs, an agreement has been reached to allow Michael to move to the Candystripes immediately.
The boards at both clubs would like to acknowledge that this has been a complicated and protracted process.
Michael will now join up with Derry City and will be available for the 2019 SSE Airtricity Premier Division campaign

No, they just arrived. Most of our triallists were a waste of time really.

Some more competition for full back positions

Dundalk FC are delighted to announce the signing of Cameron Dummigan from Oldham Athletic on a long-term contract.
The full-back, who can play on both the right and left side, today completed a medical at Oriel Park and will immediately join the first-team squad, pending international clearance.

Waterford also signed last week Hugo Keto a Finnish underage international goalkeeper on loan from Brighton.

**joey B** · 20/02/2019, 3:47 PM

Harps sign Sean Boyd on loan from Shamrock Rovers.

**sbgawa** · 20/02/2019, 4:17 PM

He has been chronically unlucky with injuries the last two years. A fantastic kid needs game time. If he stays fit (please God for him) he will score goals for you.

Limerick not expecting to be busy in the transfer market. Hopefully they can get proper training facilities sorted out.
