Rhys Marshall is a real coup for Shamrock Rovers, says Stephen Bradley

Rhys Marshall’s versatility is a coup for Shamrock Rovers, according to boss Stephen Bradley.

After sealing a deal with Rovers, the Glenavon ace will make his final appearance today when they host Coleraine in the Irish Cup fifth round, before joining the Hoops for pre-season next week.

A Cardiff City target two years ago, Marshall, 24, is primarily a right-back but can play in a number of other positions.

Rovers boss Bradley said: “Rhys has lots of good attributes. He’s young and hungry and he’s played a lot of games for someone so young.

“We’ve watched him for quite some time and we made contact with the club to see if a deal could be done and thankfully it could be.

“He can play in a number of positions – right back, centre back, centre midfield and I’ve seen him play left-back as well. He strengthens us as a team and a squad.”
