Robbie Benson has followed his St Patrick’s Athletic manager Stephen O’Donnell back to Dundalk, just three weeks after the pair helped the Saints to FAI Cup glory.

It was the 29-year-old midfielder’s final penalty in the shootout that clinched the Cup and first trophy of 35-year-old O’Donnell’s managerial career.
