SEAN RUSSELL WASTED no time in making an impression upon his return to the SSE Airtricity League.
Having spent five months with United Soccer League club Louisville City, who he joined from Limerick in January, the 23-year-old midfielder signed for Drogheda United last week.
He made his debut for the Drogs in Saturday evening’s meeting with Sligo Rovers and gave his new club the lead with a stunning half-volley at the Showgrounds.

In their battle against relegation to the First Division, Drogheda ultimately had to settle for a point after Rhys McCabe equalised for Sligo.
Pete Mahon’s side stay rooted to the foot of the table, while Sligo are a point clear of the relegation zone, which also includes St Patrick’s Athletic and Galway United.
