Drogheda United's Transfer Activity
Drogheda United has made a significant move in the League of Ireland transfer window by signing former striker Frantz Pierrot from his previous club Athlone Town. The 28-year-old, who previously played for Drogheda in the 2024 campaign and helped them win the FAI Cup, is set to join the team on a permanent basis.
Pierrot's form at Drogheda was impressive, netting 10 goals in 23 appearances. His experience and goal-scoring ability will be valuable assets for the United side as they look to strengthen their attack. The move is subject to work permit approval, but it represents a coup for manager Stephen Bradley.
Shamrock Rovers' Loan Addition
Shamrock Rovers have bolstered their squad by bringing in Maleace Asamoah on loan from English League 1 side Wigan Athletic until December. Asamoah, who has scored six goals in 17 games during his time with Wigan, is a talented winger who will add pace and creativity to the Hoops' attack.
The signing of Asamoah took some time as there was initial back-and-forth negotiations. However, he is expected to make an immediate impact for the team. Asamoah's last-minute loan deal came after being sent off in a match against Stockport County just before the transfer window closed.
Galway United's Acquisition
Galway United also made a significant move by signing Frantz Pierrot from Drogheda on a permanent basis, subject to work permit approval. Pierrot, who previously scored 10 goals for Drogheda in 2024 and helped them win the FAI Cup, will add depth and experience to Galway's forward line.
The move is a testament to Galway United's ability to attract experienced players despite limited resources, making it a coup for the club. Pierrot's goal-scoring prowess will be crucial as Galway look to compete in both league and cup competitions.
