Drogheda United has announced the signing of defender Andrew Quinn from Shelbourne who rejoins the club after a stint in 2022, showcasing his talent in 32 appearances that season. Before donning the claret and blue, Quinn boasted experience with Dundalk and Bray Wanderers.
The 21-year-old, a former Ireland youth international, now boasts an impressive 80 senior appearances.
“I’m very happy to be back, I was delighted when Kevin gave me the call, so I can’t wait to get going now. I really enjoyed my time here two seasons ago, so I just want to get back to really enjoying it again.
“Even just driving up here today to sign, I was excited. I think I played my best football under Kevin so that was a big thing for me,” Quinn explained.
Quinn becomes the second addition to Kevin Doherty’s 2024 squad, following the signing of fellow centre-half Jack Keaney.
“Andy was brilliant for us, and I was sad to see him go but I’m delighted to have him back, he really progressed the year he was with us. He played a fair number of games as well at Shels, and was offered a new contract, so it’s great that he’s chosen to come to us.
“They (Quinn and Keaney) are two different types of centre-halfs, and certainly complement each other.
“Both have different attributes, but both are really good players, and two smashing lads as well. I would have spoken to Jack a good few times, even when you’re playing against him, I’ve always really liked him and Andy, we’ve a good relationship with Andy already,” manager Kevin Doherty explained.
