Shelbourne Football Club has bolstered its squad ahead of the new season with the signings of Daniel Kelly and Ellis Chapman. Kelly, a winger, joins from Derry City after his contract was mutually terminated. Chapman, a midfielder, arrives from Sligo Rovers after a standout season.
The move for Kelly comes after Derry City announced they had cancelled the winger’s contract — which was due to expire at the end of the 2025 campaign — by mutual consent on Wednesday.
Advertisement Kelly was allowed to leave after expressing a desire to return to Dublin and follows in the footsteps of 21-year-old attacker Ryan O’Kane, who joined from Dundalk at the end of last month. “On the pitch, he brings top speed to our play, something we have wanted to bring to our team for a long while. He is direct, wants to score goals and most importantly wants to win”The 23-year-old impressed last season with Sligo Rovers, producing nine goals and four assists in 34 appearances for John Russell’s men.
