The 2024 League of Ireland campaign has nearly come to a close after a gripping finale.

Shelbourne were crowned Premier Division champions for the first time since 2006, with Cork City promoted back to the top-flight after winning the First Division.

Dundalk have been relegated to the First Division.

Meanwhile, Drogheda United were crowned FAI Cup champions on Sunday afternoon but must defeat Bray Wanderers on Saturday afternoon to ensure their Premier Division status for 2025.

However, many clubs have already been busy building their squads for next season.

And with official dates still to be confirmed in terms of the opening and closing of the transfer window, extratime.com has you covered heading into a busy off-season with our transfer tracker.

Over the next few months we will be keeping a close eye on all the arrivals, departures and contract extensions in the Premier and First Division, with a number of clubs set for a busy winter.
