As Davy explained, “I’ve been busy bringing in some new players – and I’m happy that most of the players that were there have stayed.

“I’ve got over 40 players signed, so at least this season we should have more competition for places. Things are looking good so far anyway, though we’ll know better once the season starts in earnest.”
