have confirmed the signing of Michael Noonan ahead of next month’s Uefa Conference League play-off against Molde of Norway.“I know he’s young in age, but we’ve signed Michael to be involved in the first team straight away, there’s no doubt about that,” said Bradley. “We need to be careful how and when we put him in, but I’ve no doubt he’s ready to be part of the first team squad and I wouldn’t have signed him otherwise. He’s definitely one we can put into the squad now.
“Michael is one of the best young players in the country and, as well as producing our own, we got to recruit the best as well so Michael falls into that category. He’s a player I’ve watched for some time and he has real ability and a great attitude, so I’m delighted to get him in.
“He can do a bit of everything. His mentality is strong and a desire to get better and push on. As a young player, that’s a really important attribute to have. He wants to work hard, he’s dedicated to his craft and has real ambition to be a top player.” John Noonan previously managed St Francis while Noonan father’s Andrew played centre-half for UCD, Cobh Ramblers, Dublin City, Dundalk and Athlone Town between 1999 and 2006.
