Great business from Kerry getting their top scorer tied down for another 2 years at the club. I would agree that more signings like this would be great to see over the rest of the season. Its a sign of intent from the club to secure their top performer's and build their 2024 squad with the core of this years. Exciting times ahead in the Kingdom.

Ronan Teahan signs on the same conditions as Kelliher, so good to see the aim is to develop the squad over the long-term, but presumably simultaneously trimming down the overall numbers.

They reckoned Curtis could be off to "one of the big Dutch clubs". I think he was linked with Feyenoord wasn't he?

Yeah Feyenoord were rumoured to be interested in Curtis this time last year. Murphy has been 18 since April so brexit rules aren�t stopping any UK clubs from signing him. On the topic of Murphy, the move to Bristol this transfer window appears to be off and he'll stay at pats until the end of the season. Daly said in an interview after the match last Friday saying the club hope to tie him down to a new contract too but I�d be surprised if they managed to pull that one off tbh, it would be amazing if they did though

Great news if Adam Murphy stays to see out the season. As you say, I�d be surprised if he signs another contract, given the interest from England. Absolutely no sympathy for English clubs when it comes to Brexit rules.

Derin Adewale has left Bohs U19s side to sign for Serie A side Lecce, where Ireland U21 midfielder Ed McJannet also plays

Shels have signed Portuguese right back Euclides Cabral until the end of the season. He was most recently with Apollon Limassol and has played in Swiss top flight with Grasshoppers and St. Gallen

Meh! Dundalk had a former La Liga and MLS MVP player not so long ago, sounds great on paper, but well least said and all that. This one could be the signing of the decade....

The new lad at Shels has already done more than Zahibo did in his entire time at Dundalk lol

**Nesta99** · 04/09/2023, 10:32 AM

I dunno, Im sure Zahibo broke a sweat getting to Oriel to get his signing on fee!

**joey B** · 04/09/2023, 12:19 PM

Jack Moylan confirmed to be leaving Shels in November and moving to Lincoln�

I'd forgotten about him. He's on the market again it appears. He didn't tear it up in the French fourth division last season by the looks of things.

Danny McGrath has signed for Belgian second tier side Lommel from Bohs 19s, Lommel are one of the club owned by the City Football group which own Man City among others. He was part of the Ireland U17 side that went to the euros this year

Waterford FC signed 30 year old, Spanish defender Derik Osede (Free agent - Most recently Pontevedra). Eddie Nolan retired a few weeks ago. We�ve been seriously lacking an older head at the back.

**Jack B** · 10/09/2023, 2:45 AM

Was at Bermo's testimonial earlier and I'm quite sure that Killian Brennan would still start in most midfields in the league. Namely ours.

**D24Saint** · 10/09/2023, 10:58 AM

It�s a pity Bolger didn�t get on but I�d say Bucko was showing respect to John Russel.

Just make sure his full name isnt Wilifried Derik Osede Zahibo!!

Nonny Hannafin and Luke Casey have departed Kerry and Cobh respectively.

Both on the scoresheet tonight for Rockmount.

Luke Casey was only at Cobh for about a month!

The Cobh team is going so well at present and are looking to secure 3rd place. This is a great achievement considering Galway & Waterford are full-time and way ahead of the rest!
I suppose these players realised they would have found it hard to gain a place in the team and decided to go back to Rockmount now the non-league season has just start to kick-off!
