Big deals announced by Dundalk

Massive news coming out of Oriel Park tonight as both Chris Shields (above) and Brian Gartland (pictured below) have agreed to extend their stay at Dundalk by signing 2-year deals, which will run until the end of the 2019 season. Midfielder Shields 26, recently clocked up his 210th appearance at the club and will now enter into his seventh season at Dundalk. He joined the club from Bray Wanderers in January 2012 and has been a regular in the starting 11, winning all domestic honours in his six years at the club including captaining the side to the EA Sports Cup just over a month ago. Vice-Captain Brian Gartland 30, has become a mainstay in the Lilywhites defence over the past four and a half years since arriving from Portadown in the summer of 2013.

Heaney off to a flying start with Bray

I had a few options but when I sat down and talked with Dave I thought Bray would be the best club to go play and show people what I can do.” He was very impressive against Dundalk, along with other members of the back-four

Gaffey set for a big season at Athlone Town

By Gerard Mulreaney ( @gerardmulreaney ) This season we’re delighted to be sponsoring one of Athlone Town’s talented young strikers, Ryan Gaffey, and we caught up with him prior to their opening game of the season away to Galway United. It’s a big year for Athlone following all the troubles last season. The foreign investors have moved on, a new manager is in place, and the midlands club will be fielding a fully amateur side. The new man at the helm is Aaron Callaghan, himself a former manager at the club, and he feels that he has some unfinished business there. Gaffey told us he’s looking forward to the opening game, “Yeah to be honest I think this season will be massive for Athlone, especially after last season the only way is up for us. We can’t wait to going and hopefully get a result against Galway and push on from there after that.” “Aaron has brought in players over the last few weeks and the lads he brought in have proved to be good enough. There is a good bond between e
