Bellurgan man Conor McCormack has signed a new deal with Airtricity League Premier Division champions St Patrick’s Athletic.

The former Manchester United ace had been tipped for a move to Dundalk after being released by Shamrock Rovers last week but will now link up with Liam Buckley’s men at Inchicore.

The 23-year-old, who made 93 appearances for Rovers in a three year spell at the Tallaght Stadium, can play in either midfield or defence and will be joined at Richmond Park by Ken Oman and Lee Lynch.
