Boyd extends contract with Shelbourne

Fresh from scoring a brace against Bohemians in the FAI Cup quarter-finals on Sunday, Sean Boyd has signed a deal with Shelbourne that will keep him at Tolka Park until the end of the 2023 season.

The 24-year-old joined Shels in late 2021 from Finn Harps having previously played with Shamrock Rovers and Longford Town.

At present, Boyd has scored seven goals in 23 appearances in the league this season and four in the FAI Cup for the Reds making it his highest season goal tally in his senior career.

Head coach Damien Duff believes Boyd’s time with the Tolka Park outfit has seen him progress to another level.

“It has been a great 24 hours for Sean, scoring two great goals yesterday and extending his contract today.

“I absolutely believe this is Sean’s home. The staff and players get the best out of him and he has without doubt gone to another level. He is a big part of what we want to build at Shels.”

Boyd is also delighted with the contract extension and believes the Reds is the only place he’d want to be playing his football.

“I’m absolutely delighted to have signed a new deal with Shels, from my first day I felt at home at the club so I’m delighted to be at Tolka Park for next season.

“I can’t thank the manager and staff enough for what they have done for me, they have been brilliant all year for me and I’m really loving my football thanks to them, this is an exciting time for the club so there’s no place I’d rather be.”
