SHAMROCK ROVERS MIDFIELDER Greg Bolger has confirmed he is leaving the club after three seasons at the Hoops.
The 32-year-old penned a message on social media this afternoon announcing his exit in the wake of Rovers’ FAI Cup final defeat on Sunday, in which he continued his return from a career-threatening injury.
“Sadly last Sunday was my last time wearing a Shamrock Rovers jersey,” he wrote. “The club informed me about three weeks ago so I was desperate to go out on a high but luck wasn’t on our side Sunday unfortunately.
“I just want to thank the club, fans, player and the management for there [sic] support over the last three years. We’ve shared some great memories together which will last a lifetime with me and being part of this club’s history, I’ll be forever grateful for. Thank you.”
