Kevin Zefi swaps Inter Milan for Roma, Rovers confirm return of Trevor Clarke

Teenager Zefi is very highly-rated but made little impact at Inter.

TALENTED IRELAND UNDERAGE international Kevin Zefi has swapped Inter Milanโ€™s youth sides for AS Roma, the giallorossi confirmed today. 

2005-born Zefi joined Inter Milan from Shamrock Roversโ€™ academy in 2021, but struggled to make a step up through the youth ranks at the club, and a shoulder injury recently stalled his progress. Zefi was close to a move to Newcastleโ€™s academy last summer,  but the move did not materialise.

He has now opted to stay in Italy, signing a three-year contract with Roma. It was a free transfer, but Inter will reportedly get a 25% cut of any future transfer fee paid to Roma. Zefi will be immediately available to Romaโ€™s primavera โ€“ or U19 โ€“ side. 

Elsewhere today, Shamrock Rovers have assured the return of Trevor Clarke, who has signed a permanent deal with the club having spent last season at Tallaght on loan from Bristol Rovers. 

Clarke has signed a multi-year deal with the champions, ahead of a season in which they will seek a historic fifth-straight league title. 

โ€œWeโ€™re absolutely delighted to get him back on a permanent dealโ€, Rovers manager Stephen Bradley told the club website. โ€œHeโ€™s a big, big player for us, heโ€™s shown that time and time again. I think weโ€™re getting Trevor in his peak years which is really important. I have seen real maturity in Trevor since he came home, both on and off the pitch; in how he approaches the game, how he approaches training, itโ€™s completely different to how he was when he was younger. Weโ€™re delighted to get it done and heโ€™s a really important part of what we do.โ€

    @Gally Had: sure if you had read a bit about it , according to Ted, the horse didnโ€™t even get out of the horsebox and the officials were present when he arrived.

    My grandfather said he knocked a lad off his horse when he was coming second donkeys years ago at a point to point and went on to win the race. Was always wary of him since that

    Much ado about nothing again. Department of Ag trying to tarnish racing again.
    Probably everyday medicines in Vets car, but because the medicine was licensed in Uk, they call them illegal drugs. Everyone naturally thinks they are performance enhancing just because of the way itโ€™s reported.
    Total bโ€ฆsh.. from Kimmage, Walsh and the rest of the tabloids.
    The only wrong doing here was the English vet working outside of his jurisdiction.
