Shamrock Rovers have suffered a blow with winger Darragh Burns turning down the offer of a permanent move to instead sign for Grimsby Town.

Grimsby’s League Two rivals MK Dons were willing to part with the 22-year-old and there was confidence Burns would upgrade his temporary switch to Tallaght into a full-time deal.
