Kildare complete fourth signing

Defender Keith O’Brien, 24, has completed his transfer from Dublin amateur outfit Cherry Orchard to Kildare County this afternoon, as the Thoroughbreds bolster their ranks in their attempts to finish higher than last season’s agonising fifth place.

First Divison County were just two points away from a spot in the Promotion/Relegation play-offs and were pushed out by Limerick, amid a run of four losses and four draws in their final 11 games.
