Bohemian FC is delighted to confirm the signing of striker Colm Whelan on a multi-year deal.
The Kilkenny man, 24, joins from Derry City having previously impressed for both Waterford and UCD.
Welcoming Whelan to Dalymount Park, manager Alan Reynolds said:
“Colly is an outstanding talent with a real eye for goal and I am delighted to have him on board as our No 9 for next season.
“Colly is a player that I had with Waterford, at Derry City and worked with for the Ireland U21s. I have a long connection with him and I know how good a player he can be.
“His link-up play is good, and he is a player who just wants to score goals, and I think he is a massive signing for the club.
“He has been back playing for four or five months now after his injury. That time back will stand to him and I feel that with a strong pre-season under his belt and a run of games, he will be a serious asset to this club.”
Whelan said: “I’m delighted to get it over the line, and I am really looking forward to getting started.
“Bohs is a good fit for me and having spoken with Rennie, he was a big sway in me coming here. I have a good relationship with him already.
“He likes me and trusts me, so I am really looking forward to it.
“I’ve had a tough couple of years but that humbles you, and makes you work hard to get back out on the pitch.
“Over the past few months, I’ve played a good few minutes with Derry City, and now I’m looking forward to getting more, and trying to win games for Bohs.”
