All Rovers players but one made free agents

Shamrock Rovers have made all their players with the exception of Pat McCourt free agents in an attempt to cut the wage bill by one third before Sunday’s transfer deadline.

With Rovers looking to cut their wage bill from €15,000 to €10,000, the decision was taken last week to make all the players except McCourt free agents, and also inform them that wages will have to be cut if the wage bill remains at €15,000 past the transfer deadline.
