Collins signs two new players for Dublin City

Dublin City Manager Roddy Collins has signed West Ham's Shaun Byrne and former Northern Ireland international Keith Rowlands.

Both players flew into Dublin this morning to complete the necessary paperwork and to meet their new team-mates at the club's training headquarters.

Byrne is a defender who has represented Ireland at under-16, under-18 and under-21 level, as well as playing for clubs in Britain.

Rowlands, 33, who has 18 caps with Northern Ireland, will continue to train with Dagenham and Redbridge and fly over for games.

Collins has promised more signings in the coming days as the Vikings' bid to avoid relegation.
