Shamrock Rovers have swooped in to sign free agent midfielder Richie Ryan after he left Dundee United in Scotland. Ryan has also played in the League of Ireland for the Hoops rivals, Sligo Rovers. During a three year spell at the Showgrounds, Ryan picked up two FAI Cup's and a League Cup winners medal.

Speaking on the move, Ryan stated, “I’m very happy to have signed and I’m excited to get started now. I’m looking forward to training with the lads tomorrow. I know quite a lot of them already and I know there’s a strong squad here with plenty of quality and I’m looking forward to joining in with that.

Shamrock Rovers is a massive club in Irish football. I’ve had success here before and I hope I can have more success in this new chapter.”

The Hoops become Ryan's 7th club after spells at Sunderland, Scunthorpe United, Boston United, Royal Antwerp, Sligo Rovers and Dundee United.
