First Division champions have announced the re-signing of Brian McManus for the 2022 season.

The midfielder has played 28 times for Shelbourne and scored twice for the then Ian Morris managed side as they claimed their second First Division title in three years.

The 20-year-old joined the Reds from Preston North End during the middle of the 2020 season.

He is manager Damien Duff’s second signing in recent days with Shane Griffin joining the cub from St Patrick’s Athletic on Friday.
