stephen bradley &that w**ker ollie cahill sign

for Shamrock Rovers today signed Stephen Bradley and Oliie Cahill, while Simon Madden has agreed to extend his stay at the club.

With the Hoops' imminent move to Tallaght, new boss Michael O'Neill has decided to strengthen his squad ahead of the Hoops' debut season in their new home.

Says O'Neill: "While we have some very good players at Rovers, the squad is slightly young in certain areas – the arrival of Ollie Cahill will be of great benefit to the players."

Cahill, who has enjoyed a glittering career, has been a great success at Cork City, Shelbourne and Drogheda United and won a variety of major honours, including three league titles.

"As well as having a lot of experience, Ollie also knows what's required to be winner," says O'Neill. "And he's also a versatile, left-sided player. He's a great signing."

Stephen Bradley comes to Rovers following last year's frustrating move to Scottish club Falkirk from Drogheda United – where he starred alongside Ollie Cahill.

"Stephen comes to Rovers after what was a difficult period for him," says Michael O'Neill. "I knew him from Falkirk and, without question, he is a quality player.

"He was a success at Drogheda, he's a Tallaght native, so he was keen to come and we wanted him. It's a great opportunity to kick-start his career and we're delighted to have him here."

Sad news alright RIP. Madden defo impressed me in the few games I saw him in last season. Cahill certainly is decent signing, havent seen much of Bradley.

Ye Simon was very good for Rovers when he came on board
Billybob will also back me up here when I say that I haven't played with many better players than his brother Glenn, quality
Too fond of the good life though
