SHAMROCK ROVERS HAVE refused to comment on reports the club is about to sign former Ireland international Damien Duff.
Rumours began circulating on social media yesterday that the 100-times capped midfielder was set to sign for the Tallaght-based club but, when contacted by The42 a spokesperson said they could not comment.
This morning, however, several media outlets are reporting that Duff has or is poised to sign for the club.
Rovers are due to host a pre-arranged press conference at Tallaght Stadium at noon today ahead of the second leg of their Europa League first-round tie with Progrès Niederkorn and manager Pat Fenlon is expected to field questions about Duff’s potential arrival.

After last week’s scoreless draw against the Luxembourg club, a win for Rovers on Tuesday is expected to be worth in excess of €400,000 which would go some way towards paying Duff’s reported €2,500 per week wages.
The two-time Premier League winner has been without a club since a serious ankle injury ended his stint in Australia’s A-League in February and has been spotted at a number of Airtricity League games over the past few weeks as he completes his Uefa B coaching licence course.
