PLAYER BIO
Adam Rooney enjoyed an impressive first season with the club’s under-17 team in 2017, making 21 appearances, scoring 5 goals, before progressing to under-19 level in 2018.
Rooney is aggressive in attacking the ball in both boxes and is very comfortable in possession. It was no surprise to see the commanding defender called up to the Irish Schools side.
The 6’4″ centre-back made his first team breakthrough in 2018 at Eamonn Deacy Park, against Sligo Rovers in the EA SPORTS Cup in April.
Like the 2018 season, Rooney will continue to play under-19 football under Nigel Keady in 2019.
