Limerick FC have confirmed the signing of John Frost for the 2011 season. The defender makes the move from Sporting Fingal.
Frost started his League of Ireland with home-town club Waterford United where he went on to captain the side in a seven year stint. He won promotion with the club in 2003. The 30-year-old left Waterford United in 2005 and joined St. Patrick’s Athletic where he enjoyed three seasons at the Inchicore club, becoming a fans favourite in the process.
In 2008, ‘Frosty’ joined Sporting Fingal initially on loan before making the deal a permanent one. Last season he made just seven appearances as Lorcan Fitzgerald held onto the left-back spot.
Speaking to Limerickfc.ie, John said: “I'm delighted to sign with Limerick FC. My family is from Limerick and I'm very proud of my Limerick roots, so I was delighted when this opportunity arose, to play for my ‘real’ home club. But importantly, this is also a club with ambition and I look forward to playing my part in our push to get Limerick promoted to the Premier Division.”
Also speaking to Limerickfc.ie, Pat Scully said: “John's signing shows that, as a club, we can attract Premier players. I have always rated John very highly. He will bring great experience and character to the team and will be a great example for the young players to learn from.”
