None

Francely Lomboto has joined Sligo Rovers from Connacht rivals ahead of the 2025 League of Ireland Premier Division season. 

The 24-year-old spent the last four seasons with the Tribesmen’s first team and has signed a one year deal at the Showgrounds. 

Lomoboto has agreed a pre-contract and will officially join the club on December 1st.

And the former Galway man is excited to strut his stuff at the Showgrounds next season. 

“Rovers are one of those clubs which are all about the fans,” he said. “It’s fan owned so there’s a strong community connection. You can see that support goes further than just match night. The locals live and breathe the football club and there’s a lot of history here. 

“The sense of pride and tradition really stands out and I cannot wait to represent that.

“I’ve been wanting a new challenge and after talking with John, it just felt right. He’s got a real vision for the club and you can sense the ambition. I’m excited as I feel I’ll be part of something special for 2025.

“I feel like in 2024 at Galway, I only showed glimpses of what I can do. I know I can accomplish something great at the Showgrounds.”
