Bohemians have confirmed the signing of defender Max Murphy from Shamrock Rovers.

The left-footer, who was deployed as right-wing back for Shamrock Rovers during the 2021 season, has been handed a multi-year contract by Bohs as he moves across the Liffey from Tallaght Stadium to Dalymount Park. 

The 20-year-old is a former Ireland underage international who played his schoolboy football with St Joseph's Boys before joining Bray Wanderers' U17 side in 2017. 

He ended 2017 with Stoke City where he spent three years before moving back to Shamrock Rovers.

Keith Long has been busy in the run up to Christmas with new signings. Goalkeeper Tadhg Ryan has joined from Treaty United while Jordan Doherty, previously with American USL side Tampa Bay Rowdies, has signed a two year deal to play in Dublin 7.

Murphy scored on his Premier Division debut as a substitute for Shamrock Rovers in their 2-0 away win against Finn Harps in November 2020. He made 15 appearances scoring two goals in the First Division that season with the Rovers II team.

In 2021, he made ten league appearances including five starts for Stephen Bradley’s side as they went on to secure back-to-back league titles.
