I remember Eddie Nolan playing in, I think, the same games as Sean St Leger made his first couple of appearances. Might have been Nigeria in London or something.

Dylan Connolly has turned down an offer to stay at St. Mirren and opted instead for a 2-year contract at Northampton, recently relegated to EPL 2. Not an obvious move if he had any ambitions to play at a higher level - presumably a simple matter of financial benefit. After 39 appearances for St Mirren in 2020/21, it can't have been about game time either.
So much for the attraction of Playing Celtic / Rangers ? !Originally Posted by Demesne Lad
Alan Judge hasn't always enjoyed the best of luck in his career; nice to see that he has signed a two-year contract with Colchester Utd., one of 4 Ipswich 'old boys' who are moving from Suffolk to Essex.
God, that's more of a step down that I thought he'd take. With Ipswich you'd think he was on the fringes of the national team still - and we need a midfielder who can score - but Colchester is effectively international retirement.
Couldn't find a thread for him but according to reports, Jack Bonham is close to joining Stoke City on a free transfer, his contract at Gillingham having expired:

U21 centre-half Mark McGuinness leaves Arsenal for Cardiff
Potentially a very good move.
Conor Sammon joins Alloa. Was surprised to see that they were in the Scottish second tier the last three seasons, and have only just been relegated
Maybe they poached him.
So if he breaks into the first team quickly that could mean that our young centre-half options could look like this next season:
Premier League: Omobamidele, Collins (depending on rumoured transfer)
Championship: McGuinness, O'Shea, Masterson (if he can re-establish himself at QPR)
League one: O'Hora
Plus hopefully Jimmy Dunne will establish himself at a high level
Tom O'Connor, former U-21 international at Southampton, has been on loan at Gillingham. Burton Albion website announced this evening that the defender/midfielder will be joining Jimmy Floyd Hasslebank's Albion when his Southampton contract expires this summer.
Burton Albion or Burton Hibernian? Conor Shaughnessy (24, ex-Leeds Utd, Hearts, Rochdale) is signing for Burton on a two-year deal. (BBC Sport, 24 June)
After seven and a half years and 295 appearances for Millwall, Shaun Williams looks set to join Portsmouth (The News, 24 June).
Zack Elbouzedi (ex-Waterford, more recently on loan with Bolton Wanderers) has been told by Lincoln boss Michael Appleton that he can leave if he gets an opportunity of regular football elsewhere. (Lincolnshire Live, 25 June)
Aaron Drinan (23, ex-Waterford) is the 20th contracted pro to leave Ipswich Town since the end of the 2020/21 season. After various loan spells in England, Ireland and Sweden, 8 starts and 16 sub appearances (1 goal) for the Tractor Boys, Aaron is to join Leyton Orient in EFL 2. (www.twtd.co.uk 27 June)
That's Ward, McGuinness, Judge, Parrott and now Drinan as Irish first-teamers from last season who've since left Ipswich.
Drinan is expected to sign for Leyton Orient:

That is positive for Ndaba given that he is under 23 next season. If he had been allocated to the 23s, you'd wonder if he was in pergatory.
Jack Bonham to join Stoke on a one year deal.
