Midfielder Richie Towell has agreed terms on a move to Shamrock Rovers this summerShamrock Rovers have formally announced the signing of Richie Towell from Salford City. Independent.ie revealed in February that Towell had thrashed out a pre-contract agreement to join the Hoops and turn down a move to his former club Dundalk. The Dubliner was keen to come home with his family so it became a choice between Rovers and Dundalk as opposed to pursuing a new contract with Salford or staying elsewhere in the UK. He felt league champions Rovers were a better bet with the Tallaght side offering the 29-year-old a three-and-a-half year deal. Towell will not be eligible to play for the Hoops until July 1.
