Former Shamrock Rovers and Drogheda winger Gavin Brennan joins Warrenpoint Town

Warrenpoint Town have announced the signing of former Shamrock Rovers and Drogheda United midfielder Gavin Brennan ahead of the 2018/19 season.

The Drogheda native has been without a professional club since parting company with his hometown side at the end of the 2017 season, which ended in relegation to the First Division.

30-year-old Brennan joined local side Boyne Harps in the North East Football League for a short spell in late January.

“I am delighted to have signed Gavin Brennan,” Point manager Stephen McDonnell told the club's website.

“I have known Gavin since my playing days, where we had many battles against each other in the Louth derbies.

“Gavin is a top-quality player and comes with great experience of playing with League of Ireland sides and European fixtures. He will be a great addition to the squad.”

Brennan has competed with both Drogheda and Shamrock Rovers in the qualifying stages for the Europa League, scoring for Rovers in an away game against Odds BK in 2015.
