Shelbourne dealt blow as Will Jarvis returns to Hull City

Shelbourne's Premier Division title hopes have been dealt a blow with Will Jarvis recalled from his loan by Hull City.

The 21-year-old netted nine goals and contributed six assists in 30 appearances after rejoining Damien Duff’s side in January, emerging as an integral player in table-topping Reds’ title bid.

Shels are currently three points clear of second placed Derry City but have played a game less than the Candystripes.

Shamrock Rovers are also 11 behind the Reds and have played a game less than them. 

Jarvis scored and assisted twice in 12 matches during his first spell at Tolka Park in 2023, helping Shels secure a top-four finish and Conference League qualification.

The youngster has made four appearances for Hull – three in the Championship and one in the EFL Cup – with his most recent outing coming away to Luton Town in May 2023.

The Hull City academy graduate has enjoyed previous loan spells in non-league with hometown club York City and Scarborough Athletic, where he won promotion to National League North in 2021/22.

Jarvis made his last appearance on Monday night at Tolka Park as Shels drew 0-0 with title rivals Derry City.

Shelbourne FC can confirm that Hull City have recalled Will Jarvis from his loan.
