Longford duo loaned to Athlone Town

Longford Town duo Paddy Mulvihill and Gary Murphy have joined Athlone Town on loan until the end of the season.

Mulvihill, a striker, has been out of the picture at Flancare Park since picking up an FAI Cup winner's medal last season. He was allowed to leave the club by manager Alan Matthews earlier this year and has been playing gaelic football with Garrycastle and the Westmeath Under-21s.
