Sligo Rovers first-team boss John Russell has backed winger Will Fitzgerald to shine at the Showgrounds next season.

Fitzgerald, 24, has penned a new deal with the Bit O’Red despite a bitterly disappointing 2023 campaign in the North West.

But his manager is hoping he can help the club push on and make amends this term.

“I’m delighted Will has agreed a new deal with the club,” Russell said.

“Will is a top professional who brings so much to the team in terms of his energy, work rate and quality.

“He has an excellent mentality and is exactly the type of character I want at the club.

“I’m excited to have him with us again as I feel he can take his game to another level next season.”

And the player added: “I’m delighted to sign back with the club for next year.

“Ever since I first arrived at the club, I’ve been made to feel welcome by everyone.

“It’s a great club with even better people involved. I know how much it means to the supporters and community to see it thriving.



“I am loving my football here and I look forward to hopefully making my 100th appearance for the club, which if that happens is something that I’ll be forever proud of.”
