BOHEMIANS are poised to snap up non-league hotshot Steo Donnelly.

SunSport has learned that the Gypsies will hold off competition from rivals St Pat’s and Shelbourne to land the Usher Celtic striker.

Donnelly completed a soccer scholarship at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania in the United States before returning home.

And he attracted interest from League of Ireland clubs after scoring 24 times in the AUL Premier A Division this season.

While St Pat’s and Shels were keen, Donnelly is a Bohs fan and has decided to try his luck at his local club. Although untested at that level, his signing will provide boss Keith Long with increased options up front with his team heavily reliant on Dinny Corcoran.

Corcoran has scored seven of Bohs’ 12 goals this season, from just seven outings, and the Gypsies have collected 10 points from those games.

He sat out Bohs’ other seven league matches with a knee injury.

Izzy Akinade is back in training after having his spleen removed in March with Long hoping he can return to action in July.
