IRELAND INTERNATIONAL Darragh Lenihan has joined Middlesbrough on a four-year deal today.
The 27-year-old signs as a free agent, after a decade at Blackburn Rovers.
“I’ve been a huge admirer of Darragh for a long time,” says Boro boss Chris Wilder, “in terms of his qualities he brings as a player, as a person, as a competitor, as a warrior, and a leader of men.
“I’m putting a bit on him but I know he can handle it. He’s a proper football player and I’m delighted.
The north-east side finished just outside the play-off spots in seventh position last term.
The Meath native — who starred for Ireland against Ukraine in Poland last week – is the club’s third signing of the week following the double capture Ryan Giles and Liam Roberts.
Robbie Keane deserves a statue outside Landsdowne Road, our greatest ever player
If rob keane is your best ever player I feel sorry for Irish football. On another note David Moyes is a fraud to football.
scores heaps of goals for us, loves playing for his country, most caps, amazing servant.
I bet your raging nobody took the bait
Keane has more goals than any English player ever in international football history…..
Remember England playing Emile Heskey on the wing at the World Cup?? Donkeys that country are at football
Strange but I have a good feeling about this game IRL 3 – 0 SWE . Come on you boys in green
Sweden and Austria are both there for the taking. COYBIG
Would love to see a full or almost full Aviva tonight, seems to be such a rarity for football matches at it. Not sure of our chances but we did play well away from home against them, COYBIG
obviously i understand the financial problems meaning people can’t afford the FAI’s ridiculously overpriced tickets also.
It’s Robbie Keanes boyhood dream to play for Sweden
Most overused joke in Irish football…
