Shamrock Rovers outcast Jack Byrne is set to join United Arab Emirates club Dubai Irish on a short-term loan deal.

The Ireland international has been excluded from Rovers matches and training for the past month, cut from the squad that hurdled Conference League rounds against FK Ballkani and Santa Clara to reach the league phase for the second successive year.
