PREMIER LEAGUE TABLE

DAVID CAWLEY has rejoined Sligo Rovers from relegated Galway United.

Cawley won the Premier Division, the FAI Cup and the Setanta Sports Cup with Sligo during his last spell at the Showground­s and is Ger Lyttle’s second new addition to the Bit O’red squad.

The 26-year-old midfielder said: “As soon as Sligo got in contact, I knew I wanted to sign. I’m absolutely delighted to be back. I loved my time at the club previously.

“We had all the success you could want and being here again reminds me what potential the club has.

“I’ve spoken with Gerard and he is ambitious and wants to get the club higher up the table next season, and so do I.

“It didn’t work out for me at St Patrick’s Athletic as I’ve admitted before. I went to Galway and I have to give all the credit to Shane Keegan. He got me enjoying my football again.”

Caweley added: “I rang him in advance of signing for Rovers to thank him because his management really lifted me.

“It meant a lot to me and I feel I’m coming here stronger after some of my performanc­es. Sligo is the perfect fit for me and in fulltime football so it’s a great opportunit­y again.

“There is already a solid and talented part of a squad put together and like when you join any club, you have to prove yourself.

“There’s going to be players fighting for your position. I had great times here but that will not count for much when trying to get into the team and keeping a place.

“That’s the challenge in front of me and I’m really keen to take it on.”
