Ronan Coughlan has left Sligo Rovers to join St Patrick's Athletic for the 2021.
The Limerick native was one of Rovers most exciting players during his two seasons at the Showgrounds.
The news will be disappointing for many Rovers supporters - as Coughlan was rated highly.

The return of Romeo Parkes looked set to re-unite the Jamaican with Coughlan up front for Rovers. Their striking partnership had proved to be a winning formula for the bit o'red during the 2019 season.
However, manager Liam Buckley will now have to bring in additional firepower up front, in the wake of Coughlan's departure.
