Hard to believe he's still only 30.

Glenavon are full time now. They even have some academy teams in full time now aswell
Ward was actually decentish for Dundalk last season in his few appearances, his legs are gone though. Top lad though, great for the dressing room
Glenavon Manager is Stephen McDonnell whos from Dundalk and Simon Kelly is his assistant. Ward would have played with both of them at some stages in his career. It's as quick to get to Glenavon than Belfast from Dundalk, it's only an hour away

Alan Reynolds has left his post as Ireland 21s assistant manager. A shame, that was a good bit of entertainment watching the Bohs fans fume on Twitter about it after the loss to Derry last international break

This is a big change from last year and they haven't announced it anywhere. Is it all players in the first team squad? Bit surprised at that.
Serious cash going in to Ballymena this year from the look of things.

They’re well stocked in that area but that’s still a big loss

Sean Maguire back at Cork. Spare a thought for Tim Clancy’s poor little Cork that can’t compete with Premier Division clubs budgetsSurely Maguire and Keating are on two of the highest wages the first division has ever seen. I know the personal/locational connection is there but it’s got to be a certain level of wage to even consider it

Unbelievable! Probably nto the smartest signing evem if we are looking ahead to next season. Seani hasn't been the same the last few years, and I'm not sure how he'll fit into the team with Keating, but we have time to figure that out.
But regardless of whether its the smartest thing to do I'm ecstatic to have him back! We got Ruairi Keating and Seani Maguire back in span of a week!
Well those Clancy comments are ageing well.
That Cork/Derry game will be intresting to see how Maguire and Keating get on together against better opposition....

Can't see both of them starting against Derry.
We will know soon enough if maguire still has it. If he isn't knocking in goals sharpish against first division teams while playing for the top of the table team he will be an expensive overhead. On the otherhand could be an inspired signing that will top the premier league goalscorers list next season.
Reckon Seani will spend the rest of this season getting game time/fitter and building confidence. The 1st division is very weak, himself and Keating will have the time of their lives and possibly help improve the home crowds for a bit. Will see how good he actually still is next season when they're not heavy favourites every week.
The boom is back!
Aaron Connolly to Galway Utd is a done deal supposedly. Two former Premier League and international players in one transfer window, this is like peak Celtic-Tiger era carry-on
The goals have dried up for him after leaving PNE:
2017–2023 Preston North End 159 (22)
2023 Coventry City 7 (0)
2023–2024 Carlisle United 32 (2)
Still some signing for Cork City and he'll be a decent age of 31 in the PD next season, makes their cup game now v Derry take on a wee bit more extra spice.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Ten of those Preston goals were in his first season too.
Agree he still looks a very good signing though
Galway won’t care if they pull it off but that would be a huge fall for Connolly ,for him to end up in the LOI at 24 is a huge failure….

something very off about connolly. would be a mad fall for him if he landed in LOI. would love to see how JC would work with him though
John will just shut him in the boot of his car, let him out Friday evenings
