Sligo Rovers continue to strengthen their squad ahead of the start of the new season by signing midfielder Chris Kenny.
The 26 year-old Kenny joins with the Bit o’Red from Wexford Youths and is the third new signing at The Showgrounds, following Shaun Patton and Kyle Callan-McFadden last week.
Kenny's career began in 2010 when he signed with Wexford Youths. He was re-singed by Wexford mid-way through the 2015 season and helped them to their first ever promotion as champions.
Dave Robertson’s squad to date for 2017 is now up to 15 and the Sligo boss revealed that he'd had his eye on the player for some time now.
"Securing Chris is a magnificent signing for us. He is another target who is right for what we need. I identified him early last season in a pre-season friendly when he played for the Defence Forces against us at The Showgrounds.
"He is a player that I have definitely followed since. He will add quality in the midfield area and also adds needed energy."
"He's a central midfielder who will bring an abundance of energy to the team. He also has a great competitive spirit. Chris has the energy to get forward into the box and score goals.
"He is also dominant in the air. He has played centre-half in his career but I see him more in the midfield for with us. He will give us the tenacity that we need in midfield as well as adding goals."
