2025 Arrivals and Departures

[D24Saint]

Pats have signed Northern Ireland U21 captain Darren Robinson on loan from Derby, defensive midfielder apparently so just some cover for Jamie Lennon I’d imagine unless Kenny wants to play 2 defensive minded midfielders in certain games which he hasn’t really done at all while in charge of Pats

Tried to pick the brain of a Hartlepool mate earlier about him. Not much they could say as they said he made very little impact during his loan there. The fact he couldn't make a mark at a mid table National League side makes the signing less that exciting. Hopefully he can stay fit and make some sort of an impact.

Have Shels forked out a decent transfer fee here? I'm surprised Shels were able to sign a player who's under contract at West Ham. It looked like he was progressing ok at WH's underage teams, so I'm surprised to see him back in Ireland so soon after leaving for 6 figure fee.

Moore was entering the final year of his three year West Ham contract, yes Moore was regular in their Under 21s but he wasn't making the first team or had any loan spells in the EFL so I don't see any six figure transfer fee paid by Shels not even taking into consideration O'Brien's relationship with West Ham, there are articles back in April 2023 reporting Cliftonville were receiving £170k/€200k range for Moore back then

Hartlepool let Greg Sloggett go out on loan last season (then released him at the end of the season) so I guess that might be an approximation?

Ciaron Harkin signed for Sligo Rovers until the end of the season

I thought SK might have been tempted to bring him in on a short deal.

I don't think he wants to come back though. Doesn't his partner play for a women's premier league team over there? That was one of the reasons he's over there at the very least.

Yeah he said that on a podcast last year that he’s over there while she is. He’s now at Boston United and she’s at Nottingham Forest which are about 85 mins apart so a handy one for them to live together and travel to training

Yet another nail in Cork's coffin as it’s been confirmed Cathal O'Sullivan did his ACL on Friday. Gutted for the kid, was meant to get a big move this summer but clubs seemed to want to hold out until January so they’d only have to pay the compensation fee and now this happens to him

Ciaron Harkin signed for Sligo Rovers until the end of the season

Good move for him. He just wasn't getting game time with us. Hasn't really been playing even after he came back from injury.
Him and Paddy McClean can ride-share too, which is handy.

Jamie Stott, a central defender has signed from Morecambe. Certainly need more bodies in that position.
He got their player of the season last year, though they were relegated from League 2.

Thats terrible news, really tough look for a kid so young

Since their relegation, there has been significant controversy concerning their ownership position, and the club may very well cease to exist shortly, so the whole squad, unsurprisingly, are filing for the exit doors:

Comments online say theft.

Shoplifting in a Super Value apparently,I get First Division football is not a financially rewarding endeavour but that is idiotic….

[culloty82]

Conversely, Luke Doolan has signed from Killarney Athletic - very prolific this season, so a very promising talent.

They clearly got a bit confused by the concept of sponsorship.

Like the infamous Albanian team in Heathrow Airport in 1990 when they saw the Duty Free shop and only recognised the second word...

An important lesson on how not to communicate for Kerry FC here. The vagueness of the statement has caused the tweet to go viral (over 1.6 million views) and it’s been picked up by massive amounts of racists that are giving the two players, as well as the club disgusting abuse online. What the two lads allegedly did is a disgrace right enough but it could’ve been handled so much better by Kerry
