Defender Ryan Burke has returned to Bohemians after spending the last three seasons at Waterford.
Burke racked up over 100 appearances for the Blues since moving to the RSC.
The 25-year-old previously had spells in England with Birmingham City and Mansfield Town, before signing for Bohemians as a free agent in the summer of 2022.
His previous stay at Dalymount Park was a brief one, but manager Alan Reynolds was keen to acquire the services of a player who he knows well from his own time at Waterford as assistant manager.
"I am delighted to bring Burkey back to the club," Reynolds said. "You can see over the past number of the seasons how he has really established himself as an excellent left-back in the league.
"He's defensively very sound, he likes to get forward and has chipped in with the odd goal as well too.
"It's really important that when we are bringing players into the club that they are of the right character and his character is top drawer.
"He has a real hunger to do well and push on now after three really good years at Waterford.
"I worked with him there so I know well the qualities he will bring to the club. He will be a great addition to the group."
Burke said of his move back to the capital: "I am delighted to be back and I can't wait to get going. It was a quick decision for me after talking with Rennie.
"I really enjoyed my time working with him at Waterford. He was brilliant down there, so I am really looking forward to coming back to Bohs and having the opportunity of being able to work with him again."
Drogheda United have signed American wing-back Jason Bucknor (above) ahead of the new season.
The 23-year-old signed with the LA Galaxy for the 2025 season after being selected 20th overall in the first round of the MLS SuperDraft out of the University of Michigan.
Bucknor made 27 appearances across all competitions for MLS Next Pro League side Ventura County, the affiliate club of LA Galaxy, in 2025.
During his time with the University of Michigan, Bucknor was named to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team in 2021 and was selected to the Big Ten All-Tournament team twice while helping Michigan qualify for the NCAA tournament in 2024.
Bucknor is a product of the Inter Miami Academy, having played 13 matches for Inter Miami/Fort Lauderdale CF in USL League One.
United manager Kevin Doherty feels Bucknor will be a major addition to his squad:
"When I first watched Jason, I got really excited. He’s a strong attacking option for us on both sides, whilst also being excellent defensively.
"He is predominantly a right sided player but has played a lot of games on the left and can play in a number of different roles.
"He’s a player I think the supporters should be excited about. He’s strong physically, has excellent athletic ability, and contributes to goals.
"We had a number of conversations with him before joining us, and I’m really looking forward to having him join the group."
Bucknor has targeted trophies at Sullivan & Lambe Park.
"It’s an honour to sign with Drogheda United, and I can’t wait to integrate with the team.
"I’m excited to bring joy to the fans with my style of play and to help win many games as we fight for trophies together."
It's the second move Drogheda have made in the US market after defender Leo Burney joined on Saturday.
Burney had a similar development to Bucknor, joining Seattle Sounders for the 2025 season and making 19 appearances in all competitions for MLS Next Pro side Tacoma Defiance.
Northern Ireland Under-21 international Eoin Kenny has opted to stay with Dundalk for their return to the Premier Division.
Kenny, son of former Republic of Ireland and current St Patrick’s Athletic boss Stephen, has been linked with a move to the UK.
Despite just recently turning 20, the striker already has 70 appearances and scored 14 goal, including 10 in the First Division last season.
