Collins clear-out puts 14 Viking players on transfer list

DUBLIN CITY FC manager Roddy Collins has swung the axe at the Premier Division basement club by placing 14 first team squad players on the transfer list.

Collins made the announcement at a meeting at the club’s training headquarters at ALSAA where he met each player individually to inform him of his decision that they no longer had a role to play at the club. Collins’s decision now leaves the Vikings paired down to the bone.

City, who have 14 matches to retain their Premier Division status, gave debuts to four players against Derry on Thursday last - Danny Boxall (ex-Bristol Rovers), Scott Friel (ex-Celtic), Ronnie Henry (ex-Tottenham) and Marc Kenny (ex-Shamrock Rovers).
