Shelbourne sign Giurgi from Norwich City

Shelbourne have signed former Republic of Ireland underage winger Josh Giurgi from Norwich City.

The pacey right-sided player progressed through to Norwich City Under-23s from the Under-18s.

Having previously played at Leixlip United, the Dubliner was a regular in the Norwich City Premier League 2 side.

A former Republic of Ireland Under-17 and U-18 international, he joins Damien Duff’s Shelbourne side on a contract until the end of the season.

Shelbourne head coach Duff said: "Josh came in and trained brilliantly last week and thoroughly deserves this deal. He has great quality on the ball, is very athletic and penetrates brilliantly. He is eager to rebuild his career after leaving Norwich and I am sure we can help him."

Giurgi is hoping to make an impression at Tolka Park: "I’m delighted to sign for this great club and help us in the journey that we are on.

"The players, all of the staff and gaffer have all been very welcoming from the start and I can’t wait to get on the pitch."
