LOI transfer wrap: Shamrock Rovers confirm departures as Bray Wanderers sign Wexford pair

Premier Division champions Shamrock Rovers have confirmed the double departure of Chris McCann and Viktor Serdeniuk.

McCann leaves the Hoops as a multiple league winner at Tallaght Stadium having made 50 appearances in all competitions for the Hoops.

The former Premier League midfielder played a bit-part role for much of the 2022 season in Dublin 24 making 22 appearances in Rovers' 54 game season.

Remarkably, McCann made more starts for Rovers in European action than he did in domestic league outings.

Serdeniuk however leaves Stephen Bradley’s side off the back of a short stint at the club.

The former Ukrainian underage international made three appearances for Rovers since joining midway through the season.

He also made two further appearances during the Hoops Europa Conference League group stage odyssey.

Elsewhere, Bray Wanderers have unveiled the signing of former Wexford duo Ger Shortt and Conor Davis.

Both players worked with current Seagulls head coach Ian Ryan during the 2022 campaign at Ferrycarrig Park.



Derry City have also confirmed that forward James Akintunde has departed the club.

Meanwhile, former Ireland under-21 international David Odumosu has re-signed for St Patrick’s Athletic.

John Caulfield’s Galway United have also snapped up duo Darren Clarke and Rob Slevin ahead of the 2023 campaign.

Clarke joins the Tribesmen after a previous stint with Longford Town, while Slevin joins from Finn Harps.
