Defender Seán Grehan has signed for Bohemians in a loan deal from Premier League outfit Crystal Palace.

Grehan returns to Dalymount Park after joining Palace from Bohs in 2022.

The 21-year-old is the eighth new addition to Alan Reynolds' squad this season and is available for tonight's SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division game against Derry City at the Brandywell.

Welcoming Grehan back to Dalymount Park, manager Alan Reynolds said: "We're delighted to bring Seán back to the club.

"He knows the club, he knows a lot of the players and staff here already, and he has an affinity with Bohs from his time coming through the ranks here and with St Kevin’s.

"But most importantly he is a very talented player. He’s big, he’s strong and he is a really commanding centre-back.

"I worked with him with the Ireland U21s so I know his attributes and the qualities, so I am really looking forward to working with him again."

Grehan’s arrival paved the way for fellow centre-back Cian Byrne to move on loan to Galway United earlier this week.

Reynolds added: "Cian has a great attitude and has a massive future ahead of him, but after getting that first-team break, he needs to keep playing regularly now to continue with his development.

"The experience of going on loan to Galway will be of great benefit him, and will make him an even stronger player."

Meanwhile, Shamrock Rovers have confirmed that 35-year-old striker Rory Gaffney has re-signed for this season having recovered from an ankle operation towards the end of the 2024 campaign.
