Former Ireland winger Keith Treacy joins Drogheda

Hot on the heels of Damien Duff joining Shamrock Rovers, comes news of another former Irish international winger arriving in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division, with confirmation Keith Treacy has signed for Drogheda United.

Capped six times for Ireland by Giovanni Trapattoni and having amassed a wealth of experience at Blackburn Rovers, Preston and Burnley, the 26-year-old had been without a club since leaving League One side Barnsley in January.

And although the Dubliner is some weeks away from full match fitness, his arrival at United Park is still a significant coup, according to manager Johnny McDonnell.
