Gaffney signs back for Limerick

Rory Gaffney has put pen to paper on a one-year deal with Limerick FC. The 23 year-old striker played a crucial part in Limerick's promotion to the Premier Division and the 2012 First Dvision Player of the Year will look to continue his form in the top tier.

Rory joined the Blues half way through their 2011 campaign but failed to score in any of his appearances. Upon his move from the wing to centre forward, Rory went on to become the club's joint top scorer in 2012 alongside Shane Tracy, scoring ten times in just over twenty appearances.

The Galway native came through the underage system at Mervue and played in Mervue United's debut League of Ireland season of 2009, making 56 appearances in the club's first two seasons.

He made his league debut on the opening day of the 2009 season against Athlone Town at Terryland Park and scored four senior goals that year. In 2010, Rory added another five goals to his tally and in 2011 he had scored a further five goals and amassed a grand total of 66 appearances before signing for Pat Scully's Limerick FC in late July.
