Longford confirm Baker signing

Having missed out on the signing of former Shelbourne goalkeeper Chris Bennion earlier this week, Longford Town have confirmed the signing of 26-year-old out-of-contract midfielder Dessie Baker from the champions.

Baker, whose younger brother Richie was also released and is currently looking for a club in the United States, has been given a two-year-deal by the 2003 FAI Cup winners, having spent seven seasons at Tolka Park.
