The striker joins a squad that has become somewhat depleted in recent years, losing the services of Anthony Elding, Kieran Djilali and Danny Ventre amonst others since their FAI Cup win two seasons ago. The club, now managed by former Boh's manager Owen Heary, will hope to improve on last years performance, where they finished some 19 points off the European Places.
