Behan and Gamble sign up with Limerick

AIRTRICITY First Division side Limerick FC are feeling the JP McManus effect as the club last night pulled off a sensational transfer coup unveiling Denis Behan and Joe Gamble as their new signings.

The pair, who enjoyed huge success in the League of Ireland previously with Cork City, were released as part of a clearout at English League One Hartlepool United at the end of last season, and have been free agents since.

Limerick have benefited from the support of McManus and are reaping the rewards. Pat O’Sullivan, club chairman, stated: “I am delighted such high profile players see the potential this club has to be a huge success.”
