SLIGO ROVERS HAVE confirmed the immediate departure of goalkeeper Mitchell Beeney by mutual consent.
The former Chelsea ‘keeper had started 13 games in the SSE Airtricity Premier Division for Liam Buckley’s side this season, but leaves the Showgrounds halfway through the campaign.
Beeney — who joined Sligo on loan from Chelsea in 2018 before moving to the League of Ireland club on a permanent basis — last featured at the start of May, with 19-year-old Ed McGinty recently impressing.
“Sligo Rovers can confirm that Mitchell Beeney has today left the club by mutual consent,” a brief club statement read.
“We wish Mitchell well and thank him for his contribution in the two seasons.”
The departure of Beeney means Sligo, currently sixth in the Premier Divison, find themselves light in the goalkeeping department, with McGinty and Luke McNicholas now the only first-team options for Buckley.

That Tyrone elbow on Paudie Clifford was assault
The dig from the no 24 on clifford was pure filth.

@Moya Power-kelly: Get a life!!
@James Dore: he got sent off he shouldn’t have been up their collecting the cup he deserved the second yellow card so how he was allowed collect the cup their bit as squicky clean as everyone thinks
@Moya Power-kelly: I’m guessing cause he was the captain,that’s why he collected the cup.
Ta an ceart ar fad agat!
Outstanding exhibition of football by David Clifford and Devlin up full forward. The Tyrone team completely lost their heads however and paid the price for playing on the edge from time to time. Incident leading to the first sending off was beyond silly it wad blatent red card as he struck his opponent but at the end of the day was harmless. Fossa should possibly have been reduced to 14 too for a high tackle early in the second half but all in all it was a good clean game until the end when 2 off the Tyrone players got sent off as they chased the hand down, thus ending any real chance they had…. Game disintegrated completely after that with the last 3 red cards coming in the last 2 min. Excellent game but a pity about the cards…
