ITALIAN SIDE COMO have confirmed the signing of UCD midfielder Liam Kerrigan. 

The 22-year-old, an Ireland U21 international, has impressed in the SSE Airtricity League over the past three seasons. 

Kerrigan was tipped to become the latest Irish footballer to make a move to Italy, following in the footsteps of Aaron Connolly (Venezia), Kevin Zefi (Inter Milan), Cathal Heffernan (AC Milan), James Abankwah and Festy Ebosele (both Udinese). 

And, this morning, the Serie B outfit announced a three-year deal for the Sligo native. 

“I am obviously very happy to be here in Como,” said Kerrigan.

“For me, it is a great opportunity and I can’t wait to be able to take to the field wearing the blue shirt and compete in Italian football.”
