Drogheda United has announced the signing of 27-year-old goalkeeper Luke Dennison who has spent the past 18 months with Bohemians.
Prior to his time with Bohemians, Dennison had played for Longford Town over a three and a half year spell, which included half a season on loan at Galway United.
Born in America, with parents from Dublin and Kells, Dennison played in the San Jose Earthquakes MLS Academy and made the move to Ireland after completing his studies in college.
“I was at Bohemians the last year and a half. It was going well but I found myself not playing so I felt a move would be best. Drogheda came in, and I had a great chat with Kevin, and I know Daire from working with him at Longford.”
“It sounded like the perfect fit for me. Andy (Wogan) is a top young goalkeeper, so I’m here to push him, Jethren (Barr), and myself. Aaron McNally and Matthew O’Brien are good friends of mine too, so I’m really looking forward to it,” Dennison said.
Dennison is the fourth player to join Kevin Doherty’s side in the window, following Douglas James-Taylor, Elicha Ahui and Shane Farrell.
“I’m delighted to have Luke in. He’s an excellent goalkeeper, and it provides us with serious competition in that position now,” Doherty said.
“I was really impressed with how he wanted to join the club, how he wants to come in and compete, and that’s exactly what he’ll do. We did need to cover ourselves with Jethren’s injury but the main reason Luke is in is to provide that competition.
“The young academy goalkeepers we have, Finn Moore, Theo Hennessy, Ryan Maher, they have all been training with us too which has been great, and you can see them continually improving too,” Doherty explained.
