Premier Division leaders Shelbourne have swooped to re-sign Harry Wood from Hull City on a permanent ‘long-term’ contract.
The Reds are two points clear at the summit and have a game in hand on their closest challengers Derry City.
But the arrival of Wood will provide them with a significant boost between now and the end of the season.
The 21-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Tolka Park and made 15 appearances, scoring twice and notching six assists.
He spent the last six months on loan with Grimsby Town in England before returning to Dublin.
“It is amazing to have Harry back after a prolonged holiday in Grimsby,” Shels boss Damien Duff said.
“The best football he played in his career was with Shelbourne. The happiest he has been in his career was also with Shelbourne.
“That is why both parties were so eager to do this. Last year he made a massive impression in a short period. Now he will have a much bigger impact over a much longer length of time. Welcome home Harold.”
