Shamrock Rovers captain Ronan Finn has given up the chance of chasing an historic five-in-a-row of titles by deciding to rejoin his first club, UCD.

Off-field factors in the form of pursuing a masters degree are central to the move which will come after he receives his seventh Premier Division medal on Friday night.
