SHELBOURNE have convinced Tomás ‘Mossy’ Quinn to swap Croke Park for Tolka Park.
Quinn – who helped the Dublin footballers win the All-Ireland in 2011 – has quit his post as Commercial and Marketing Director with the GAA to become Shels’ new Chief Executive Officer.

The 43-year-old said: “I’m thrilled to join Shelbourne FC at such an exciting time in the club’s journey.
“I’m looking forward to working with the board, the staff and the fans to build on last year’s achievements and taking a leadership role in continuing to lay the foundations for many years of future success and stability.
“Shelbourne is a club with a proud history and strong community ethos and I’m enthused to deepen the connection between the club, its community, its partners and its growing fan base.
“Coming in to the club at this time in its illustrious history is a privilege and it is an immense honour to lead this Dublin institution as CEO.”

Quinn – who also won seven Leinster titles during a nine-year inter-county career – will replace Barry Mocke who parted company with the club earlier this week.
But he is unable to take up the reins until April with Shels co-owner Neil Doyle overseeing club operations for the league champions until then.
Doyle said: “We are delighted to welcome Tomás to Shelbourne FC.
“I know he will be central in capitalising on the club’s momentum over the coming years.
“His appointment will support our continued drive to elevate all aspects of the club’s performance and further strengthen our engagement with fans and the local community.
“Tomás understands what it means to be a football fan, a commercial leader and an elite sportsperson – a unique combination which equips him to lead the next chapter in the club’s development.”
