SEAN RUSSELL WASTED no time in making an impression upon his return to the SSE Airtricity League.
Having spent five months with United Soccer League club Louisville City, who he joined from Limerick in January, the 23-year-old midfielder signed for Drogheda United last week.
He made his debut for the Drogs in Saturday evening’s meeting with Sligo Rovers and gave his new club the lead with a stunning half-volley at the Showgrounds.
The League of Ireland has been treated to an abundance of superb strikes in 2017, but this one should be right up there when the goal of the season award is handed out.

In their battle against relegation to the First Division, Drogheda ultimately had to settle for a point after Rhys McCabe equalised for Sligo.
Pete Mahon’s side stay rooted to the foot of the table, while Sligo are a point clear of the relegation zone, which also includes St Patrick’s Athletic and Galway United.
