I'd imagine there will be a medical and international clearance to sort out before we announce the signing.

Patience, and media timing, is everything!

Am I being greedy when asking if contingent is plural?

Nice place, Donegal.

Welcome Shane and good luck with your progress at Doncaster Rovers.

It is beautiful, but the weather can be a bit wild. Finn Harps play in the twin towns of Balleybofey-Stranorlar, not too far from Donegal Town - went there last year.

So swapping one Donny for a larger one then - welcome Shane, good luck, and enjoy your time in Doncaster.

Deal done. Two and a half years. We must really rate him.

Some nice comments from Finn Harps Secretary regarding the way we conducted the transfer:

 "I have been in regular contact with their manager Darren Ferguson and would like to thank him and Doncaster Rovers for the manner in which they conducted their side of the negotiations".

Similar to the comments from Alfie May's old club.

Welcome to DRFC Shane, all the best for your future with us.

Perhaps we should play them in a pre season friendly in July/August
