Drogheda United land Jack Keaney for new season

Drogheda United have signed defender Jack Keaney from UCD in the first new addition since the takeover at the club.

Keaney began at Sligo Rovers, where he emerged from the youth setup into the first team during the 2017 season.

He made 48 appearances over the subsequent two seasons before his move to UCD midway through 2019.

Keaney has dedicated the last four and a half seasons to UCD, striking a balance between football and pursuing his degree.

"I’m delighted to get the deal done now. It’s been a busy month since the season finished but just chatting to Kevin (Doherty), I’m excited to get going now," Keaney stated.
