He joined us from Bohemians, having been with the Dalymount club’s U17 and U19 teams over the previous three years.

Hot on the heels of today’s earlier signing comes the news that Darragh Noone has joined Shelbourne for Bray Wanderers.

Darragh joined ‘Wanderers’ from Lourdes Celtic in 2014 and played with their U19 side for the 2014/15, 2015 and 2016 seasons.

He was called up to the senior squad in April 2016 and made his league debut that month in an away game at Shamrock Rovers. He made 16 league appearances, scoring the first of his two goals that season, in a 2-0 away win at Longford Town. The ‘Seagulls’ finished the season in sixth position.

The following season, Darragh made 19 league appearances, scoring on three occasions as the club once again finished the season in sixth position.

He made another 19 appearances for the Carlisle Grounds club in the 2018 season. The club finished the season at the bottom of the league table and was relegated to the First Division.

Luke Byrne

Defender Luke Byrne has signed for Shelbourne ahead of the 2019 season.

Luke played his underage football with St. Kevin’s.

He joined Bohemians in 2011, making his senior debut in February 2012 against Portadown in the Setanta Cup. He re-signed for 2013 season. Having made 48 appearances for the ‘Gypsies’, he left Dalymount and joined Shamrock Rovers.

He spent five seasons at the Tallaght club, before announcing in October last, that he was leaving the club.

Luke has played for his country at all age groups up to Under 21 level.

Dave Henderson has been appointed as Head of Football Operations for the Club.

Dave worked as the club’s Head of Recruitment for the 2018 season where his vast experience and depth of knowledge of the League of Ireland and talent acquisition made him an integral part of the management team.

In assuming the role of Head of Football Operations, Dave will oversee player and coaching development, and player and coach pathways, within the Men’s Senior setup and our underage National League teams. He will be tasked with leading the development of the Club’s National League structures, so that coaches and players can fulfil their potential.

Dave will continue to work closely with Head Coach, Ian Morris, in relation to player recruitment for the Men’s Senior Team.

In confirming the news, Shelbourne FC Chief Executive, David O’Connor said, ‘I am delighted to have secured a person of Dave’s calibre for the coming seasons. Dave has established himself as one of the most trusted and knowledgeable figures in the League of Ireland fraternity in recent years and has vast experience, and proven success, in recognising and working with the best young players in Ireland. His appointment is a key one in our ambition to develop the Club at all levels’.

We are very pleased to have Dave on board for the coming seasons in what we hope will be an exciting time for Shelbourne FC.

Shelbourne FC has great pleasure in announcing that Ciarán Kilduff has signed with the club on a two-year contract.

Manager Ian Morris had this to say on the signing “I am really pleased to have added Ciarán Kilduff to our squad. His medals and goals speak for themselves, but Ciarán, like us all, wants to add to that collection.

He’s a fantastic lad to have in the changing room and I’ll be looking for him to be a leader in this group”

Ciarán played for Clane Boys and Kilcock Celtic before joining Maynooth Town. He joined Shamrock Rovers U16s and played in their youth section until he made his senior debut in May 2007 against Derry City in the Brandywell. He made 4 senior appearances for the ‘Hoops’ that year.

In January 2008 he went on loan to Kildare County where he made 35 appearances (scoring eight times) and was voted their Player of the Year. He joined UCD in January 2009, where he made 31 appearances (scoring 16 goals) as ‘College’ won the First Division title. The following season he had another productive season, scoring 15 goals in 35 Premier Division appearances.

In January 2011, Shamrock Rovers’ then manager, Michael O’Neill came calling and Ciarán once again became a ‘Hoops’ player. Though he was on the bench for much of the season, he still managed to make 27 appearances (scoring six times). He made another 26 appearances over the next 18 months without being a regular starter and in July 2013 went out on loan to Cork City.

His arrival at City made an immediate difference. He scored on his debut in a 3-1 win over Sligo Rovers at Turners Cross in July 2013 and went on to score 11 goals in 14 appearances – including four against Shelbourne – with Cork finishing in eight position in the league. At the end of his loan period, he returned to ‘Rovers’ in time for the 2014 season, where he played in 29 league games, scoring six times. November 2014 saw him sign with Inchicore side, St. Patrick’s Athletic.

He made his debut for ‘Pats’ against Tolka Rovers in the Leinster Senior Cup in February 2015, scoring twice in a 7-0 win. He went on to make 13 league appearances for the club (three goals) before joining Stephen Kenny’s Dundalk in July. He finished the season with four goals from 12 league appearances as Dundalk won the Premier Division title. He also played in the FAI Cup final, in which ‘Lilywhites’ defeated Cork City 1-0 after extra time.

Season 2016 saw Ciarán score 13 goals in 36 appearances in all competitions (7 in 20 league appearances) but was unfortunate to pick up a number of injuries. He came on as a substitute in that year’s FAI Cup Final, Dundalk losing out this time to Cork City.

In July 2017, it was announced that Ciarán was joining up with Jacksonville Armada in the North American Soccer League II (NASL II). He played in 11 games out of a possible 12, scoring four goals.

At the end of 2017, due to legal problems between the NASL and the governing body of soccer in the States (U.S. Soccer), it was decided that the NASL II league would not be played in 2018. Jacksonville Armada then joined the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) for 2018. In their season, which ran from April to July (14 games) Kilduff was ever present and scored 9 goals.
