Duffy rejoins as Athlone Town add more signings

Ballinasloe native Oisin Duffy has rejoined Athlone Town for the 2025 season.

Having started his soccer career with Ballinasloe Town, Duffy came through Athlone's academy system and made his first senior appearance for the club in 2020.

Duffy made his 100th appearance for Athlone last season and he has served as club captain.

Another local player who will be part of the Athlone squad in the upcoming season is Baylin native and goalkeeper Andrew Stuart Trainor.

Striker Ben Feeney has been signed from Bray Wanderers and midfielder Kailin Barlow has joined from Sligo Rovers. In addition, Billy Gilmore has joined Athlone from Bohemians on a loan deal for the 2025 season.

Dario Castelo's side played a pre-season friendly against Premier Division outfit Sligo Rovers in Athlone last Saturday, with Rovers winning the game on a 5-0 scoreline.

Athlone are due to play St Patrick's Athletic in a Leinster Senior Cup fixture in Dublin tomorrow night (Friday) but considering the weather warnings about the imminent storm, it seems unlikely that the game will go ahead.
