Garreth Brady signs for Shelbourne

Airtricity League First Division leaders Shelbourne FC has announced the signing of 20-year-old Garreth Brady to the first team panel. The 6’1” central midfielder is the younger brother of well-known Hull City, and current Republic of Ireland midfielder, Robbie Brady.

Garreth played his schoolboy football with Cherry Orchard before joining Belvedere YC in 2010. He moved to Bohemians in 2011 before signing for Dundalk in January 2012 where he made his league debut in July of that year, as a second half substitute, in a 4-0 defeat to his new employers at Tolka Park. The younger of the Brady brothers has represented Ireland at Under 17 and Under 18 level.

Shels have made a blistering start to life in the first division suffering only one defeat in ten games. Central to their success had been their underage set-up and the Dublin side also announced further first team promotions for the following youth players; Aaron Ashe, Armstront Bekombo, Jack Brady, Adam Farrell, Darren Gannon, Conor Keely, Aaron Mulvey, Patrick Obijuru, Ahu Obhakhan, David Pakenham and Aaron Robinson.
