Football: Defender McShane signs contract extension

Date published: 17 January 2020


Republic of Ireland international Paul McShane has signed a new 18-month contract with Rochdale AFC.

The 34-year-old defender initially joined on a short-term deal in October but has now extended his stay at the Crown Oil Arena to the summer of 2021.

McShane said: “I’ve enjoyed my time so far. Working with Brian, his staff and the players has been very enjoyable.

“There are some really good lads in the changing room and some really good players, so there’s a good combination. Hopefully, we can be successful.

“I’ve learnt quite a bit since being here. I can trust the staff and they’ve been fantastic to me, especially when I picked up the injury that I had.

“They’ve looked after me really well and hopefully I can pay them back with performances and results on the pitch.”
