St Pat's sign Danny Rogers as Joseph Anang departs

St Patrick's Athletic have replaced the departing Joseph Anang with former Republic of Ireland Under-21 goalkeeper Danny Rogers.

Anang, who played every minute of every match during his 30-game loan spell from West Ham, has returned to the Premier League outfit.

Rogers made an immediate debut for the Saints in Sunday's clash against Sligo Rovers.

The Dubliner, who was born in New York, began his schoolboy career with Belvedere before moving to Cherry Orchard.

Rogers joined Aberdeen in 2011 and made over 160 senior appearances during his 10 years in Scotland with Dumbarton, Falkirk and Kilmarnock among his most notable clubs.

The 28-year-old was most recently with Oldham Athletic in League Two, making 22 appearances last season.

Rogers said of the move: "I'm really happy to have signed for St Pat's and am looking forward to getting going.

"I've enjoyed meeting the staff and the lads and getting on the training pitch over the weekend.

"I was at the European game on Thursday and the atmosphere was absolutely brilliant, the lads played really well and were unlucky not the get through. There was a great connection between the fans and the players so I can't wait to experience that for myself.

"We've got a big couple of months ahead in the league with 12 games to go and I'll be doing my best to try to help the club achieve as much as we can between now and the end of the season."
