Jack Keaney has signed a new contract with Sligo Rovers until the end of the 2019 season.
The midfielder turned professional last summer and has firmly established himself in the Rovers squad,
Keaney has made 15 appearances in all competitions this year, and scored two goals as well against Bray Wanderers and St Patrick’s Athletic.
Gerard Lyttle said: “Jack is so enthusiastic and determined to do well. He’s one of our own that we’ve developed and he’s a joy to work with.
“He is obviously at the development stage still but he has come in, been infectious, the players and staff love him and working with him. He can only get better. It’s good news to secure his future at the club.
“He’s slotted in for David Cawley and Rhys McCabe on occasions, he has played in a three with them, he was played with each in a two, so he’s picking things up all the time.
“He is a bit versatile and scored a couple of goals too. He is an exciting lad to work with. He has a great attitude and a determination and desire to do well as a footballer. It’s good business for us.”
