St Pat's boost attacking options with capture of Cork's FAI Cup final hero

Achille Campion is back in the League of Ireland after a short stint up north.

ST PATRICK’S ATHLETIC manager Liam Buckley has moved to add firepower to his attacking options for the final stages of the League of Ireland season, with French striker Achille Campion joining on a short-term deal.

Campion was released by Cork City my mutual consent at the end of July having failed to break into John Caulfield’s plans on Leeside, and arrives at Richmond Park as a free agent.

The 28-year-old hadn’t featured for the defending SSE Airtricity League Premier Division champions this season after being sent out on loan to Linfield in January.

Campion made 15 appearances in the Danske Bank Premiership, scoring two goals, and will bring a goalscoring threat to the St Pat’s attack, as Buckley’s side look to finish the campaign strongly.

During Cork’s historic double-winning season in 2017, Campion became a popular figure with City supporters after he came off the bench to score the crucial equaliser in last year’s FAI Cup final against Dundalk at the Aviva Stadium.

Campion, who also played for Port Vale and Torquay United during a spell in England, joined Sligo Rovers in 2016 before earning a move to City a year later.

He could make his Saints debut against Caulfield’s side in Sunday’s Premier Division clash at Turner’s Cross.

    There must be something wrong with the gear I bought. I haven’t gone running once in the last month. It’s the clothes fault.

    The only running gear you need is runners, shorts and a T-shirt.. Everything else is just companies convincing people they need something. By spending more money you will not get fitter easier or faster.

    If only there was a premium Irish sports shop chain that could fill the clear and obvious gaps in Aldi’s sports clothing range…

    I always get the Aldi Fluorescent cycling rain jackets when there out. Great value at €28 odd. The exact same branded would be 70+

    How do i express my gratitude to Dr Kareem for his kindness and help in my life?. Years ago i broke up with my husband and we both went separate ways without hearing from each other. I love my husband so much that i couldn’t stay a day without him. However, i was searching for a help on how to get him back when my friend told me about Dr Kareem how he casts love spells to re-unite broken relationship and marriages .Although i was skeptical at first but due to the love i have for my husband i decided to contacted him for a help and he assured me that my husband would come back to me. He also told me he could do so many things such as: MARITAL PROBLEMS,DEPRESSION,SICKNESSES BEYOND MEDICATIONS,BREAK UP,LOVE SPELL,INSTANT DEATH REVENGE ,INFERTILITY PROBLEM, EX. REMOVAL, BAD LUCK,ATTRACTION,WIN A LOTTO,CONTRACT,PROMOTION AT WORK, RECOVERING BACK LOST FUNDS OR DEBT…You never know until you break down the walls and give something a chance Though i know it sounds too desperate but i love my husband and wanted him back and i did all he told me to do and everything happened just as he said. My husband came back to me after 12 hours of preparing the love spell and we have been living for some years now without any problem. People call Doctor Kareem as nice man but i call him a God sent! and i am totally convinced that he is actually a God on earth. Here is my phone number +15309038029 text me for any information. Do you need help then contact Doctor
    Kareem today Call or +27723697012
