Bit O’ Red goalkeeper Luke McNicholas has sustained an ankle injury which will see him sidelined for the remainder of the 2022 SSE Airtricity League season.

McNicholas picked up the injury whilst training with The Republic if Ireland Under 21 squad ahead of their European play-off with Israel.

McNicholas will now return to the club to begin his rehabilitation and is confident that he will be fit to return as normal for pre-season training in December ahead of the 2023 season.
