He has a League Winners medal with Rovers in 2012 season, making some sub appearances that year. He would do Ok (one very good sub appearance at home that year). Don't know how he done with Harps in 2013.

Defender Shane Blaney to Doncaster Rovers
Senior appearances in 2017, mostly U17 & U19 Finn Harps 18 year old to mid table League One.
This AL Underage => Development Squad across the water is starting to become a well beaten career path.

Finn Harps comprehensive article.
http://www.finnharps.com/fhfc/?p=5577" rel="nofollow - http://www.finnharps.com/fhfc/?p=5577
"...18-year-old Blaney was a regular on Donegal Schoolboy teams before moving from Illistrin Schoolboys F.C. to play with the Finn Harps U17s in the National League. The Letterkenny lad is very versatile and can play centre-half, left-back or in central midfield.  He captained the Harps U17s and then moved up to the club’s U19 squad last season.  Blaney also captained the Republic of Ireland Schoolboys in an international Centenary Shield win over Wales last February. He made his Finn Harps senior debut as a late sub in the 2-0 league win over Limerick F.C. at the Markets Field at the beginning of September. His first full start for Ollie Horgan was in Tallaght against Shamrock Rovers"

Doncaster Rovers

"...He said: “The aim is just to get as fit and strong as I can using the facilities here and put in the hard work. If I keep working hard I can eventually get into the first-team.

“I’m working with the fitness coaches now, then hopefully I can get a few games for the Development teamed show the gaffer and the lads what I can do.”

He joins the club a little under the radar as the gaffer Darren Ferguson has to clarify comments about shooting the referee at 1-1 draw..

https://www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk/news/2018/january/ferguson-clarifies-remarks-on-officials/" rel="nofollow - https://www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk/news/2018/january/ferguson-clarifies-remarks-on-officials/

"Darren Ferguson has clarified his post-match comments after Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Plymouth Argyle.

The Rovers boss was critical of the officials after the game, feeling key decisions went against his side.
 
He said: “When asked after the game what I personally could do to raise standards, I said: ‘What can I do? Shoot them?’ Although clear to everyone in the room that my comment was a tongue-in-cheek response, it is worth clarifying my comments were borne out of frustration and I absolutely do not advocate violence against officials. LOLLOL

Think we will end up doing it phase by phase so start with main stand and playing surface and then build rest over time

If they could at least get the main stand and some terrace done would be a start as if we are stranded in the 1st division for a few seasons (that' usually the way we do things) then that will be sufficint 

I pass the site everyday on way to and from work so will keep this updated if/when work starts again. I'm still not 100% confident it will but hopefully be proven wrong

He’s been top class so far! Started off where he finished last season. Only had a stint up at Newry along with Leinster senior league but great to have a striker scoring for us for a change

Would share similar fear but at this stage will take anything 14 years since we received planning permission for the site. Hope we wrong and can end up with a ground to be proud of

What's the proposed capacity of the stadium if all the phases are completed?

I see Finn harps average attendance is approx 1200. Is there any point building out phase 2 onwards if it won't be used.

Did you not see Field of Dreams ? On a serious note I'd imagine a modern stadium would attract more fans at least initiall particularly in developing the club further in the community. Attracting the casual fan and keeping them coming back is the key, in so doing it becomes generational in a family when going to football is part of your normal routine. For a club like Harps and all LOI clubs having community buy in is essential. A larger capacity may attract larger number of away fans particularly from Derry and Sligo which boosts the coffers. And there may be some scope for attracting under age internationals if facilities are up to scratch which helps further with the development of the game in the area.

It's possible alright.
But if they build phase 1 and don't have that at full capacity I doubt they will complete the remaining phases.

As a club our attendances fluctuate depending on how things are going on the pitch. Has been nights in recent years we have seen finn Park packed only for it to be deserted a few weeks later because the side isn't going well. 

Also a major factor at present on attendances is the weather I would say at least 85% of finn Park is currently out in the open so when weather is sh*te will put of casual fans attending as don't want to stand out in the rain getting soaked 

Personal think at least phase 2 needs to be completed with a second stand and then over time can add the terraces if/when needed similar to how the new stands have been added to tallaght

It's in stranorlar beside the finn valley athletics club. I would say max 10 minutes walk from current finn Park. Have plenty of bars etc in stranorlar as well as the usual spots in Ballybofey

I know no fans not happy with this so must be a very small minority if any. Ballybofey united 1 of the local clubs in the area and they have played in stranorlar before so don't think it's an issue at all

Would be great to see it stay in some capacity. Back when the stadium project started it was agreed the construction company got finn Park as part of the deal (plan was to build houses on it as far as I'm aware) a lot has changed in the 14 years since so hopefully this is a sign an agreement can be made that it stays property of the club

Very poor game so it was absolutely no flow at all. Probably wasn’t helped with ref blowing for every challenge too. Disappointing enough as should have been winning if thinking about moving up the table but in an ok place 11 points after 6 would have taken that.

Was at the match and it was every more bizarre than what the video shows. Linesman had the flag up for a long time and both sets of players were getting ready for the free. Ref then started dishing out yellows to the players who complained to him. That’s two shocking decisions against Harps in less than a week.

He wasn’t. But the lad who cleared it off the line definitely was. That said live it looked offside

Thought it was a very close call whether the other player (not Seymour) was playing him onside or not. Could have been given either way.

would strongly fancy Harps to turn Dundalk over in the cup , be interesting to see how it’s priced up

That ref has a bit of history in being generous to Bohs in his decision making....and of course being a local he has to be seen to be totally impartial which can be to Harps opponents benefit

He sent Finnerty off in Tallaght and denied us a certain pen earlier in the season against Harps , plenty of bad decisions generous to Bohs he certainly is not .

Tbh I just think that the standard of officiating in the league is that bad that all teams suffer and benefit equally from the decisions they give. I understand that they are not full-time professional but the standard is consistently awful.

And now we have refs pushing players off the pitch too.

Very revealing discussion on this weeks RTE Soccer Podcast about referring in the LOI. Gartland makes a comparison to the approach in Scotland which on the face of it appears more inclusive. Worth a listen.

Twice last night harps had foul throws and both times allowed go again, the refs just make any call at all really, daft stuff.

Lovely gesture.

Co Donegal football team Finn Harps have announced a fundraising drive for the victims of the Creeslough tragedy during their upcoming fixture against Dundalk FC on Friday.

The team posted on social media confirming their evening fixture at Finn Park will include money raised through programme sales and other monetary donations will also be collected.

The programmes – which have a special memorial cover – will raise money for the fund established to help the victims and families of those affected.

The programme cover is simple but very effective.

Can't see us winning tomorrow. Just hope UCD don't either!
