Town sign Skelly
First Division bottom side Athlone Town have further bolstered their squad with the addition of versatile forward Austin Skelly – the fourth new signing since the appointment of John Gill as midlanders’ manager last month.
Skelly, who has gained senior league experience with Dublin City, Kilkenny City and Home Farm, can play either up front or on the wing.
And Gill is delighted with his latest piece of business, with the 24-year-old competing for a strike role with loan signing Anthony Flood, Michael McCann and top scorer Alan O’Connor.
He said: “Austin should be a great addition to the squad. He is an aggressive left footed centre forward-cum-left sided midfield player and he has a great goal scoring ratio.
“He was playing with Malahide United this year, and played against Sligo Rovers in the FAI Cup when they forced a replay.
“He did very well in that game. He was also a member of the Irish International Intermediate side this year. I’m delighted to have brought him to the club.”
From eleven-a-side
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

I guess, after helping out an Athlone fan, your conscience is troubling you and you're making up for it.
I mean, if the word got round Sligo, the other Rovers fans would be right miffed. LOL

No problems signing players even in our position but the reality which all clubs should be looking at is living within your budget. Not buying your way out of this division.
Clubs need to improve facilities to make players proud to play for the team not pay out all the gate receipts in wages every week to the travelling mercenaries that hop from club to club.
wouldnt say yer a big club,from what i hear ye only get about 200 or so to games,i was there last week and it was mostly Rovers fans. yer ground is a mess too(no offence of course). Best of luck with the new one
