New Shamrock Rovers manager Michael O'Neill has made his first signings. Ollie Cahill and Stephen Bradley have joined the Tallaght based club.
Cahill signs from Drogheda where he spent two seasons. The left winger had been set to join Stephen Kenny at the Brandywell but failed a medical. Cahill has three league titles to his name.
Speaking about the Clonmel native, O'Neill said - "While we have some very good players at Rovers, the squad is slightly young in certain areas. The arrival of Ollie Cahill will be of great benefit to the players. As well as having a lot of experience, Ollie also knows what's required to be winner."
O'Neill continued -"And he's also a versatile, left-sided player. He's a great signing."
Stephen Bradley comes to Rovers following last year's frustrating move to Scottish club Falkirk from Drogheda United, where he starred alongside Ollie Cahill.
"Stephen comes to Rovers after what was a difficult period for him," says Michael O'Neill. "I knew him from Falkirk and, without question, he is a quality player.
"He was a success at Drogheda, he's a Tallaght native, so he was keen to come and we wanted him. It's a great opportunity to kick-start his career and we're delighted to have him here."
O'Neill was also delighted to reveal that full back Simon Madden will remain at the club next season.
