Shelbourne have announced the departure of Ryan Brennan after three seasons with the Reds.

The 2021 season saw Brennan net 15 times for Shelbourne as they claimed their second First Division title in three years.

“I would like to thank the Club, staff, fans and of course my teammates in the three-year period I was there. They were some of my most memorable as a player to date,” Brennan said, in a post on his social media

“I will miss it as I felt a huge part of me had become a Red. Thank you for everything.”

In a statement from the club Shels Chairman Andrew Doyle said, “Shelbourne FC will always be indebted to Ryan for his incredible service to the Club over the last 3 years.

“He has brought great joy to everyone attached to the Club and has been a pleasure to get to know. Once a Red, always a Red. Thank you Ryan.”
