Limerick FC have tonight confirmed that Lee-J Lynch has signed for Scottish Premier Division side Hamilton Academical FC.

The Superblues chairman Pat Sullivan spoke to the club’s official website in order to wish Lynch the best of luck with his future endeavours.

“All at the club wish Lee-J well in his move cross channel. Hamilton is a wonderful club whose ethos is akin to our own, something I’m sure Lee-J took into account when making his decision. Since he came to the club in the summer transfer window, Lee-J has exhibited all the qualities needed to progress to the very highest level.

“The fact that his hometown club offered him the opportunity to showcase his talent to a club challenging for the Scottish Premier League title is something we can all be proud of. On the field Lee-J’s talent is not in doubt and off the field he has been one of the first players to volunteer for school’s visits and club or charity appearances, which is a testament to his character. I’ve no doubt that he will have a hugely successful career with Hamilton and represent his family and the people of Limerick with pride & passion on an international stage.”

Lynch began his career with English side West Brom before a short stint in Spain with Glenn Hoddle’s academy. The midfielder then opted to move to Ireland and join Drogheda United. The player spent just six months in Louth before a two year stint at Sligo was followed by a short spell with the then League Champions St Pats. However when Limerick came calling Lynch took the opportunity to move to Thomond Park on the final day of the 2014 transfer window.

Lynch took the opportunity on Friday night to thank all those that had helped him enjoy a short but pleasant stay with Martin Russell’s Limerick side.

“I just want to thank everyone involved at the club, especially Pat O’Sullivan and Martin Russell. I know they worked really hard on making my move from Pats to Limerick happen in the summer and being honest the last 3 months at Limerick have been very enjoyable. It’s been great being able to play for my hometown club where the fans and everyone involved made me feel so welcome.

“Pat was very honest with me when I arrived here, he always told me if a move like this came around he wouldn’t stand in my way, and true to his word he was very supportive and encouraging over the last few days. I would just like to wish all the staff players and fans at Limerick FC best of luck for next season.”
