Sean Boyd made an immediate and positive impact in his first season at Shels in 2022. Boyd was a vital part of the run to the Aviva Stadium decider, scoring a brace against Bray Wanderers in the opening round, and hitting two against Bohs in the quarter-final. The striker joined the Reds after impressing in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division with Finn Harps in 2021. The Swords native had a particularly strong end to the 2021 season being nominated for SSE Airtricity League Player of the Month. Prior to his season with Finn Harps, Sean played with Shamrock Rovers FC and Longford Town FC. Sean also played for three seasons in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division with Shamrock Rovers as a teenager. Sean joined Finn Harps after he suffered an injury during a PFA Ireland trial match but has since regained full fitness with a number of goals at the end of 2021. Boyd was played a vital role in the successful 2024 league title campaign.
