SHELBOURNE HAVE CONFIRMED the signing of defender Shane Griffin from St Patrick’s Athletic.
The 27-year-old Cork man won his second FAI Cup last weekend as Pats edged out Bohemians on penalties at the Aviva Stadium, adding to a league and cup double won with Cork City in 2017.
The left-back spent 2016 and 2017 with Reading in England before moving back to Leeside.
Griffin becomes Shels manager Damien Duff’s third signing after Jack Moylan and Sean Boyd.
“Shane is a fantastic signing for the club,” Duff said. “He has a wealth of experience in the league and knows how to win games and trophies. Shane has brilliant quality, can play in numerous positions and is a top professional. He will greatly compliment the youth we have in the squad.”
Defender Griffin added: “I’m very excited to get started at Shels and work under Damien and his staff. Damien has good ideas and ambitions for the club and I can’t wait to be part of it.”
Saw the BBC drama which was very good. Had never heard of him until then so good to see him being remembered for his work and vision.
He was one of those amazing men who left his mark on the world.
The best of men is what I think the movie was called, very good indeed.
He wasn’t afraid to mix-it with officialdom and in order to get his way.
