Shelbourne FC has this week announced new contracts for fifteen members of our SSE Airtricity League of Ireland winning squad for 2025.
Returning to the Reds for next season are goalkeepers Conor Kearns and Lorcan Healy. Mid-season arrivals Sam Bone, Ali Coote and Aiden O’Brien are also back at Tolka Park for next season.
Joining them in agreeing new terms over recent months are Evan Caffrey, John O’Sullivan, John Martin, and Sean Boyd, with confirmation of the extended deals coming over the last 48 hours.
Several key players have committed their futures to the club by putting pen to paper on multi-year deals, including Paddy Barrett, Sean Gannon, Tyreke Wilson, JJ Lunney, Mark Coyle, and Harry Wood. As well as the fifteen announced in recent days, Lewis Temple and Kameron Ledwidge, who had previously been announced as having agreed new and improved terms mid-season, will also form part of the squad for next season.
The majority of the contract extensions have been agreed and signed over the last six months. With the club waiting to confirm the core of our playing squad for next season once the curtain came down on the incredible 2024 campaign which saw the Reds return to the pinnacle of domestic football in Ireland, ending an 18 year wait for League of Ireland glory.
We would also like to extend our thanks to Liam Burt, who has returned to his parent club Shamrock Rovers following the expiry of his loan agreement, and we wish Liam all the best in his future and thank him for his time at Tolka.
Further additions will be made to the squad over the coming weeks, keep an eye on our official channels to stay up to date on new arrivals to Tolka Park for 2025.
