Limerick are set to sign former Cork City striker Denis Behan according to City boss Tommy Dunne.
The Leesiders had looked at bringing the striker back to Turner’s Cross after a failed spell cross-channel but Behan, originally from Abbeyfeale, looks set to sign for Limerick after they offered him a handsome deal.
Dunne said: "I spoke to Denis today and it looks like he's going to sign for Limerick.
“To be honest, what Limerick are paying him the likes of Shamrock Rovers would find it hard to compete with.
"I don't know where they're getting their money from, you talk about the 65% rule with regard to turnover, they're getting 300 people through the gate and they're able to dish out that sort of money.
It follows today’s announcement that Limerick have signed seven other players from local junior clubs in the county and Tipperary.
