Shelbourne FC can confirm that Mark Coyle has completed a permanent transfer to Coleraine FC for an undisclosed fee.

The club would like to thank Mark for his contribution during his time at Tolka Park. The 28-year-old made 132 appearances during his four memorable years with the Reds, scoring six goals.

Since joining Shelbourne in 2022 from Finn Harps, the Donegal man made an indelible mark on Shels.

He was part of a team that reached the FAI Cup final in 2022. The following season after the Reds secured a top four finish in the League of Ireland, the midfielder was named club captain, taking over from Luke Byrne who retired at the end of the 2023 campaign.

2024 was a year that will never be forgotten by any Shels fan, the Reds after an 18 year drought won the League of Ireland Premier Division title in the most dramatic of fashions.

Coyle lifted the trophy in the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium, before bringing it home to Tolka Park for a homecoming event the next day.

Everyone at Shelbourne FC wishes Mark the very best of luck in the next chapter of his career with Coleraine.
