Anto Flood set for League of Ireland return as he pens deal with Bray Wanderers

‘Bisto’ makes his return from Australia.

ANTO ‘BISTO’ FLOOD is set to return to League of Ireland football as he committed to Bray Wanderers today for the 2017 season.

The striker left St Patrick’s Athletic in 2013 after winning the title and emigrated to Australia.

While there, he lined out for Dunbar Rovers and Marconi Stallions in regional leagues.

After sharing his intentions of returning home, St Pat’s were the leading contenders to capture the 32-year-old.

Harry Kenny however, won the race as Flood makes Bray his seventh League of Ireland club having spent time at Shamrock Rovers, Shelbourne, Bohemians, Galway United and Athlone Town.

He also had a stint in Sweden, and made a brief cameo at Southend United.

‘Bisto’ is probably best known for his time at St Pat’s and his leading role in their Premier division title win in 2013. He scored 10 goals in 27 appearances, including one to seal the win.
