I had been iffy about Harps signing one or two lads from step 6, but at least they were supposedly standout players in those teams rather than largely a bench-warming second choice keeper.

The club's press releases this season can be a little misleading at times but I thought the lower end of the Harps signings came from Level 8, which is Step 4 (Leek Town etc.)?

Level 11 is Step 6. I didn't know there even was a Step 8 tbh.

Todd is a good signing for Derry, albeit probably not where they need help.

Went on loan from Longford to Galway in 2021. Signed for Treaty in 2022 and was gone by the summer before joining Bray.

He is a woejus player.

Sam Todd confirmed from UCD to Derry

Cityu signed Rokas Stanulevi?ius yesterday, Lithuanian midfielder. No idea if hes any good. More importantly, Ruairi Keating has just signed a new "long term contract", the club have not said how long for though but that puts an end to the Derry rumors. Delighted, hes my favourite city player since Sean Maguire and I don't think im alone in that fan club.

Looks like Danny Grant is more likely to join Bohs now, who knows at this stage though.

I'm presumbly mixing step and level here. I just meant the level on the football ladder they were. I also had one of the new Harps recruits trying to explain the different 'step' levels in England and it totally flew over my head.

I think "Step" just ignores the four Football League divisions?

Mikie Rowe goes in loan to Cobh from Galway United until the end of the season, joining Wilson Waweru there on loan from Utd

He got himself into bother when he signed for some club in NI, I forget which, and the fans didn't take too kindly to some pro IRA social media posts from his past. They cancelled his contract as far as I can recall.

That's who I thought it was. Cheers!

Yoyo Mahfy yo Bray. Reunited either Isn Ryan. Proven goalscorer in Div1, but been away for a year or so. Nice lad, recently lost his father, hope it works out for him.

**The Bowler** · 12/07/2023, 8:42 PM

Try to type this one with less typos ! Sean Quinn also to Bray, that's a really good signing, he was good at UCD, think he may have been in America , but couldn't be certain on that. I think you are going to increasingly see Ryaner dipping into his old pool of UCD players to build out a currently underwhelming Bray side.

He signed most of them himself.

The amount of cryptic **** on SM the last day or two does make it seem like it could be a runner but who the hell knows.

Yes Sean left Shels early in 2021 to go to the the states on a scholarship, he was well liked Shels fans very hard working physical defensive midfielder but technically limited similar to Luka Lovic who is already there

If Mahdy gets service he will score goals in first division, if he is randomly dumped out on the wing like he was by Ian Morris at Shels he won't do much.
Sorry to hear about his Dad, I remember a man infront of me enthusiastically cheering for Yoyo during a UCD match against Cork a few years back pre-Covid and Yoyo scored he was hugging everyone during the celebrations presume it was him
