Danny Rogers signs new deal with St Pat's

Danny Rogers has signed a contract extension with St Patrick’s Athletic ahead of next season.

The former Ireland squad man joined the Saints in August and quickly established himself as first-choice goalkeeper, starting 10 league games.

Rogers, 28, will again battle it out with David Odumosu for the gloves at Richmond Park.

And Rogers - who previously played for Oldham, Kilmarnock, Falkirk and Aberdeen, said: "I'm delighted to get the deal done and I'm looking forward to the new season.

“I really enjoyed my time at the club last season - we had a good run of results. Myself and my family are enjoying being home so it was a pretty quick decision.

“The standard of the squad is very high and I've enjoyed playing in the League of Ireland for the first time.

“The fans have been brilliant too and I'm hoping we can do something special next season."

Saints boss Tim Clancy - who still hopes to land Barry Cotter from Shamrock Rovers on a permanent deal - said: "It's great to have Danny back on board.

“He signed during the summer window just after Joseph Anang left and went straight into the team that weekend against Sligo Rovers.

“He performed brilliantly on his debut in that game and made some important saves while keeping a clean sheet.

“He did really well in the subsequent games, and played a key role in our five wins in a row after Europe which helped us secure European qualification for next season.”

Clancy added: “Danny has great experience having played almost 200 senior games in Scotland and England and he is a top goalkeeper.

“Himself and David Odumosu will provide great competition for places in that area of the pitch.”

In the First Division, Darragh Power has signed a new deal with Waterford ahead of another promotion push.
