St Patrick's Athletic re-sign captain Ian Bermingham for 2021

Premier Division St Patrick’s Athletic have confirmed the re-signing of captain Ian Bermingham ahead of the 2021 season.

The 31-year-old returns for his eleventh season on the spin at Richmond Park after making 11 appearances for the club during the 2020 season.

However, the left-back was unable to help his side secure European qualification as they missed out at the expense of Sligo Rovers.

Since joining the Athletic in 2010, Bermingham has won one league title, one FAI Cup, two EA Sports Cups, a Presidents Cup and two Leinster Senior Cups.

“I’m delighted to sign back,” Bermingham told the Saints’ media team. “I’m looking forward to working under the manager again.

“It was exciting last year with the team. Obviously, we came up a little bit short, but I think in the circumstances of the season I think if we had of went the full season we would have got into Europe.

“But it wasn’t to be, and you have to deal with the cards you are dealt with and we’ll get on with it. The hunger is still there as it has been before.”
