Drogheda United have announced the signing of goalkeeper Colin McCabe for the 2021 season. The net minder is their fifth addition to the squad as they return to the Premier Division.
McCabe spent five years at Glasgow Celtic before joining Bohemians in 2018.
The goalkeeper then made the move to Shelbourne ahead of the 2019 season and kept 12 clean sheets in 21 appearances as Shelbourne were promoted to the Premier Division.
Colin re-signed with Shelbourne in 2020 for the shortened Premier Division season and now makes the move to Drogheda, reuniting with Drogs’ goalkeeper coach David Bourke, who he previously worked with at Shelbourne.
McCabe told DroghedaUnited.ie “The end of the season, I found myself looking for a club. There were a few clubs interested. I spoke to Tim, I spoke to Kev and I obviously spoke to Bourkie who I had previously worked with at Shelbourne.
“They told me what they wanted to achieve this year and it seemed what I wanted to do as a player aswell off the back of Drogheda getting promoted.
“I was used to the environment of Shelbourne getting promoted aswell. It seemed the right move and I’m happy to be at the club,” McCabe said.
