Michael Noonan and Harry Wood are set to stay with Shamrock Rovers and Shelbourne respectively despite intense transfer interest from overseas in both ahead of Monday’s deadline.

Ireland U21 striker Noonan looked to be on his way to Bundesliga outfit TSG Hoffenheim when the first part of the deal, an upfront fee of €1.8m, was agreed between the clubs but it's understood the player shied away from the proposal on Thursday. Broad terms on his part of the package were on the table.
