Duff could be set for League of Ireland stint after Melbourne adventure ends with release

The former Chelsea winger had a low-key injury-hit year in the A-League.

DAMIEN DUFF HAS been released by A-League club Melbourne City after a season heavily disrupted by injuries.

Two-time Premier League winner Duff signed for City last June, joining David Villa in Melbourne as the newly formed club looked to make an assault on the A-League’s frontrunners.

However, calf and ankle injuries stopped Duff’s season short in February after 15 appearances and one goal.

In an interview with RTÉ earlier this year, the 100-cap Republic of Ireland international suggested his next move would be to his homeland, although he remained cryptic as to whether he would remain in football.

New Bray Wanderers boss Trevor Croly recently suggested he would be keen on signing Duff should he become available.
