Shamrock Rovers striker Aidomo Emakhu has transferred to EFL Championship club Millwall.

On Twitter, Emakhu reflected fondly on his time at Tallaght Stadium.

Memories made to last a lifetime, dreams that were just dreams, turned into reality.

The teenage forward earned his senior debut in May 2021 against Derry City. As a 17-year-old he scored a last-minute winner for the Hoops against KF Teuta in the UEFA Europa Conference League in August last year becoming the youngest player to score for Rovers in Europe.

In 2022, during which time he did his Leaving Certificate, he made 22 league appearances for Rovers – but made only one start. He played in seven of Rovers’ 14 European games and scored in the Hoops’ 2-1 win away to Shkupi in the Europa League qualifiers.

He ends his time with Rovers having played 46 competitive appearances and scoring six goals.
