Former international O'Brien appointed Rovers coach

Having been released by Bohemians as assistant manager last month, Liam O’Brien has been snapped up by one of his former clubs, Shamrock Rovers, as head coach for the coming season.

Hoops boss Liam Buckley said that he is "delighted to have someone of the calibre and experience of Liam’s on board at the club. He will not only assist in a coaching capacity but will also assist me in team matters."
