KIERAN FREEMAN has been shown the exit door at St Pat’s just four months after signing.
Freeman was signed by former boss Jon Daly in February in a bid to solver their problematic right-back positions.

The 24-year-old had 50 top-flight appearances in his native Scotland with Dundee United but had fallen out of favour following their relegation.
And his move to Ireland failed to relaunch his career as he clocked up just eight league appearances for the Inchicore club and has now been moved on by Daly’s replacement Stephen Kenny.
A St Pat’s statement said: “St Patrick’s Athletic can confirm that Kieran Freeman has had his contract terminated by mutual consent.
“We wish Kieran well for the future.”
Kenny’s defensive options have been boosted by the return to fitness of both Tom Grivosti and Axel Sjoberg but further changes in his squad are expected during the transfer window.
