STEPHEN O’DONNELL SAID St Patrick’s Athletic have pulled off ”a big coup” by signing Georgie Kelly on loan from Dundalk.
The striker, who scored eight goals in 38 games since joining Dundalk from UCD in 2018, joins Pat’s until the end of the season.
However he will not be eligible to face his parent club when the sides meet in the first game of the League of Ireland restart on Friday night.
“I’m delighted to get Georgie on board,” Pat’s boss O’Donnell told the club website.
“I worked with him at Dundalk and it’s a big coup for us.”
Kelly, 23, also held talks with Derry City about a potential loan deal before deciding on a move to Inchicore.
“Having the chance to play under Stephen was a huge, huge pull for me and a huge factor in the decision,” he explained.
“Stephen’s general football knowledge is second to none and as good as anyone I’ve come across in the game.
“I’m just really looking forward to getting going and hopefully getting involved. The big one is to learn. Hopefully I can pick up little bits and pieces over the next few months off Stephen and hopefully I can kick on.”

Throw the flag on the ground. Classy.
Keyboard warrior #classy
I’m sorry, forgot about the hero-worshipping bandwagon I’m supposed to be on. I’ll only make inanely trivial comments from now on so that nobody calls me a keyboard warrior and the masses of fanboys don’t red thumb me.
Sounds like a decent plan
100% with you Oisin
Oisin + Noggy, the problem in this country is, if you don’t follow GAA or Soccer and adhere to the masses, then morons (not calling either of you morons) can’t help but criticise and put down the less followed sports like MMA. I follow rugby and MMA and only comment on those two sports and keep my opinions of other sports to myself. It’s a basic show of respect that lacks greatly among a fair few people that comment on sports articles.
That’s fair enough Gary and I agree with you on the mainstream sports point. I only have a passing interest in MMA – I’m not attacking it and my issue with disrespect of the flag as nothing to do with MMA directly. I’d make the same point about Robbie, BOD, Gooch, Katie, Harrington, Sonia if they threw the tricolour on the floor like that. Or any non-sports person for that matter.
The morality is just nauseating. How about the adrenaline? Think this one through oisin. He brings tri colour out on shoulders throws it to the ground in an effort to disrespect it? Indeed. Build a bridge and get over it….. analysis paralysis and every move pro sports people make. it’s too much sometimes
What time will this be on in Ireland and will it be on BT Sport?
Oh man I literally can not wait for this fight ! Loving the hype . McGregor is a master showman which is why he has this level of exposure after his third UFC fight. For those that don’t like him there’s a simple solution, don’t read the post and don’t watch the fight! Nobody is forcing ye to. It’s that simple really.
Muppet
surly you guys have seen conor before , he hoists the flag and shows it with pride , im sure today the blood was flowing and thats the only reason he threw it .
