“I am delighted to announce that Alan Mannus will return to the club this Summer when his contract expires with St. Johnstone. We have been aware that Alan was considering his future for quite a while now and I would like to thank our Sporting Director Stephen McPhail and the Board of Shamrock Rovers for the work and effort made over the past few months in securing Alan’s signature. Alan is a huge addition to the squad and his signing further illustrates the work going on behind the scenes to ensure that we continue to build as a squad.“
