Champions Shamrock Rovers have bolstered their attacking depth by agreeing a deal to sign Jake Mulraney from St Patrick’s Athletic.

The pacy winger, a former Ireland U21 teammate of Declan Rice, committed to the Saints 12 months ago on a long-term contract extension but was recently informed he could explore other options.
