“Romeo can play on the either wing or up front. He is technically very good and I have to say I’m quite excited about him.
“He has over a decade in the game which is important and international experience. I think it’s a signing that could be really beneficial to us and a big attacking threat.
“He likes to take players on and make things happen with a goal in him. I know Romeo is thrilled with the opportunity to come over and play the game here.”
The Bit O’Red will begin their SSE Airtricity League Premier Division campaign with a difficult assignment against defending champions Dundalk next month.

Jamaican international joins Sligo Rovers following stint in America
SLIGO ROVERS HAVE announced the signing of Jamaican international Romeo Parkes subject to international clearance.
The 28-year-old joins the Premier Division side from Pittsburgh Riverhounds in America.
Parkes has also had spells in El Salvador’s top flight where he helped the Isidro Metapán club to a league title.
He was in the Jamaica squad for the previous Copa America and also scored for his country in a friendly against Cuba.
Speaking after the signing of the attacking player, Sligo Rovers boss Liam Buckley said:
