LINCOLN CITY HAVE confirmed the signing of Jack Moylan from Shelbourne.

Moylan finished as the League of Ireland’s joint top-goalscorer last season, hitting 15 goals as Damien Duff’s side secured European qualification.

The 22-year-old had been training with the English League One side since the conclusion of the League of Ireland season, with his transfer to the club now officially confirmed.

“I’ve really enjoyed being over here, it has been like a mini pre-season which has allowed me to get up to speed with my team-mates. I’m chomping at the bit and ready to hit the ground running,” Moylan said.

“Everyone has made me feel so welcome that I already know this club is the right one for me and it has lived up to everything I was told and I’m settling in more every day.

“The Irish league was brilliant for me, but I feel ready to take the next step, and can’t wait to get out there in front of the Lincoln City fans.”

Lincoln City director of football Jez George added: “Jack is a player that we watched extensively last season and although we would have loved to have brought him over in the summer transfer window, he stayed to complete the job of helping Shelbourne qualify for Europe and now has the benefit of being part of our training group since Michael’s (Skubala) arrival.

“Jack has all the attributes to adjust to the pace, physicality and demands of League One.

“He is a talented young player, with an elite mentality, relentless work ethic and the ability to score goals, so we look forward to our supporters finally seeing him in a Lincoln City shirt.”
