Ed McGinty returns to Sligo Rovers

Ed McGinty has returned to Sligo Rovers on a short-term loan deal.

The goalkeeper has failed to make the breakthrough at Oxford this season, and will be with the Bit-O-Red until June.

McGinty, a product of the Sligo Rovers academy, established himself as a key player in the years prior to his departure. His last game for the club was in the penalty shootout win against Bala Town in European competition in 2022. A firm fan favourite he makes his return on the run up to the start of the new season which begins on 17th February.

John Russell: “It’s brilliant to get the deal done. Ed is a massive presence both on and off the pitch. He’s a quality goalkeeper as everyone knows, but he brings a lot more than that to the squad. I know there were a number of club in for him which is understandable given his quality, but he still has that desire to play for this club which is what makes him such a fans favourite”

“I know all our supporters will be looking forward to seeing him back in a Sligo Rovers shirt and we’re delighted to get the deal done.”
