Shelbourne have announced the departure of Sean Quinn with the midfielder making the move to the United States to undertake further education.

Quinn had been at Tolka Park for two and a half years having joined the Reds from UCD ahead of the 2019 League of Ireland season.

The 22 year old played a role in the Ian Morris managed side that won promotion back to the Premier Division in 2019 when they finished top of the First Division.

“Sean has been brilliant for the past two and a half  seasons for the club. He will be a big loss for us,” Ian Morris said, speaking to the club’s website.

“He is a great character in the dressing room and a really good player. The opportunity is a fantastic one for him, one that we could not stand in Sean’s way as a club.

“We wish him all the best over there. It’s a fantastic opportunity and no doubt he will be a success.”

The Reds are back in action on Friday night with a trip to Limerick to face Treaty United (kick-off 7.45pm).
