|
| Killian Brennan –Midfielder – 27 (Drogheda; 31/1/1984) – Killian has emerged over the last few years as one of the best left-sided players in the country. An excellent passer and striker of a ball, renowned for his free kicks. Killian was capped at under-16 level while with Home Farm, at under-19 during his time at Peterborough United, and also at under-23 with Derry and Bohs. After a spell with Dublin City he enjoyed three great seasons with Derry City. Since signing for Bohemians in January 2008 Killian has been a regular goalscorer, with 22 from 90 league appearances for the club up to the end of last season. |  |
| Keith Buckley – Midfielder – 18 (Dublin; 17/6/1992) - Keith was signed in June 2010 from Belvedere. He showed a lot of promise in the Gypsies' under-20 and 'A' Championship sides last season. Fine tackler and passer, he's a versatile player with a great engine. Made his league début as a sub away to Dundalk on 18 March 2011. |  |
Gary Burke - Midfielder - 20 (Dublin; 27/3/1991) - Gary made his Bohemian début v. Coleraine on 6/10/2009 in the Setanta Sports Cup. He made his league début as a sub away to St Pat's on 21 May 2010 and his full league début on 17 August 2010 in the 2-0 home win v. Bray. A regular scorer in the Gypsies 'A' Championship and under-20 sides, the diminutive winger has been described as one of the last street footballers by manager Pat Fenlon, a testimony to his ball skills and cheeky tricks. Ireland under-19 international. Ex-Belvedere.

Liam Burns – Defender – 31 (Belfast; 30/10/1978) – Capped by Northern Ireland at youth and under-21 international levels, Liam was seven full seasons with Port Vale (119 league appearances) from 1997/98 to 2003/04. After brief spells with Shrewsbury, Kidderminster, and Forest Green he returned to Ireland with Sligo Rovers in 2005 before signing for Bohemians early in 2007. His experience, height (6’ 2”), composure and passing and positional sense make him one of the most dependable centre-backs around, and he proved hugely effective during the Gypsies double season of 2008. Rejoined Bohemians in February 2011 after two seasons with Dundalk.

Ollie Cahill – Defender / Midfielder – 35 (Clonmel; 29/9/1975) – Signed for Bohemians 26/2/2011. Formerly with Northampton Town, Shelbourne sprang a surprise when signing Ollie in April 2002 after six good years with Cork City where he'd won his first major honour, the 1998 FAI Cup. In his five seasons at Tolka Park he won three championships (2003, 2004, and 2006), scoring 14 goals in 154 league appearances. He won another title when he joined Drogheda United in 2007. 2009 he signed for Shamrock Rovers, moving to Sporting Fingal in July 2010. One of the quickest and best left wingers the league has seen, he’s adjusted to a more defensive role with aplomb in recent years. Signed for Bohemians in February 2011, Ollie has played in more European games than any other League of Ireland player, and will be looking to make his 40th appearance in UEFA competition in July.

| Glenn Cronin - Midfielder – 29 (Dublin; 14/9/1981) – This former Cherry Orchard starlet was snapped up by Exeter City in June 2000. Capped at under-18 level, he became a regular with the Grecians in 2001/2002. Recovering from a cruciate ligament injury, he gave Exeter five great seasons, by the end of which he’d played his 160th competitive game for them (5 goals) and was their Player of the Year. He was signed by Chester City manager Mark Wright in July 2006, but another bad injury severely limited his appearances. Glenn won a league and cup double in his first season with Bohs in 2008, and repeated the trick in 2009. Out of action since suffering a cruciate ligament injury in the penultimate league match of 2010, he’s well on the mend and hopefully will play a big part in the second half of season 2011. |  |
| Lee Dixon - Midfielder - 19 (Dublin; 1/5/1991) - Lee made his first team début on 4/5/2009 in a 4-3 EA Sports Cup win v. Shelbourne. He made his league bow in the 3-0 win at home to Dundalk on 25/6/2010 as a late sub. Lee also started in the friendlies against Wolves and Aston Villa during July 2010. A direct and pacy winger, he helped lay on a couple of goals in Bohs 7-1 win over Glenville in the FAI Ford Cup tie last season. Ex-Belvedere, this Ireland under-18 international has made a strong start to 2011 with his ability to beat a man and fire in a cross. |  |
Jason Dwane – Defender – 19 (Dublin; 12/11/1991) – Ex-Home Farm. Former pupil of St Peter’s College (Dunboyne). Capped at Irish Schools and Ireland under-18 levels. Played in Bohs' friendly v. Liverpool XI in August 2009, coming on as a sub for Matt Doherty. Very composed right full.

| Christy Fagan – Forward – 21 (Dublin; 11/5/1989) - Ex-St Anthony's Boys, Christy joined Man Utd from Home Farm in 2005. He enjoyed three years at Old Trafford where he played alongside the likes of Darron Gibson, Johnny Evans, Danny Wellbeck, and Kiko Macheda. A short stint with Hamilton in Scotland followed, before he made his first senior appearances with Lincoln City in 2009. Coached by Glenn Hoddle in Spain, he played for Jerez Industrial before returning to Ireland. A player with a great first touch and turn of pace, he's also well able to hold up the ball under pressure.

He made his competitive début for the Gypsies first team on 1 March 2011 at home to Portadown, and also played in the second leg of the Setanta Sports Cup tie. Ex-Belvedere, this tall, powerful centre back from Athy, Co. Kildare, is another real prospect. First year student of Athletic Therapy & Training at DCU.

| Anto Flood – Forward – 26 (Dublin; 31/12/1984) - 'Bisto', as he's popularly known, made his senior bow with St Pat's in 2005. Loan spells with Athlone Town and Shamrock Rovers followed, and then a short spell with Dundalk. He signed for Shelbourne later in 2007 and his career took off with 37 goals from his 76 First Division appearances for the 'Reds'. Anto joined Galway United for the 2010 season and scored 7 goals from 16 Premier Division matches before joining Orebro SK in July 2010. He made 3 league appearances for Orebro in the Allsvenskan, Sweden's top league. Signed in February 2011, the tall striker scored on his Bohemian league début away v. Bray Wanderers on 4 March 2011and has struck up a very useful partnership with Christy Fagan. |  |
| Chris Forrester – Midfielder / Forward – 18 (Dublin; 17/12/1992) - Chris joined Bohs in 2010 from Belvedere. Prominent in schools football, he starred for St Paul's CBS (North Brunswick Street). Extremely quick right-sided player with a direct style, he made quite an impact with Bohs' under-20 and 'A' teams last season though so young and light. He made his senior début away to Portadown in the Setanta Sport Cup on 7 March 2011, and has now featured in several first team squads in the Premier Division. |  |
| Owen Heary – Right-full – 34 (Dublin; 4/10/1976) – Owen’s stature in the game is easily summed up: a champion in eight of the past eleven seasons! A former Everton trialist, he spent four seasons with Home Farm Everton before Dermot Keely brought the then underrated defender to Tolka Park in 1998. His schoolboy clubs were St Brendan's and Rivermount and he won an all-Ireland schools title with St Declan's. The PFAI’s player of the year in 2001/02, he’s been arguably the League’s most complete player ever since. Released by Shelbourne in January 2007 he at last joined the club he'd supported in his youth: Bohemians. Owen had an excellent and influential first season at Dalymount in 2007, but he actually bettered that in 2008 and also came up with a few crucial goals. Injuries blighted his 2009 season somewhat, but he still led the Gypsies to a second successive league title. An inspirational club captain, Owen now also manages Bohs' 'A' Championship side. |  |
| Daniel Joyce – Defender / Midfielder – 18 (Dublin; 6/6/1992) - Daniel joined Bohemians on loan from Reading in February 2011. Formerly with Belvedere, he's been capped by Ireland from under-15 to under-18. He made his Bohemian league début away to Dundalk on 18 March 2011. Strong performer with neat skills who can play at full back or in midfield. |  |
| David Lodola – Forward – 19 (Dublin; 14/6/1991) - Tall, powerful young striker, ex-Belvedere, an important player for Bohs' under-20 and 'A' teams the past two seasons. Played for an hour against Liverpool XI in August 2009. Came on as sub in the friendly with Celtic in October 2010 when he scored a fine goal. David made his senior competitive début away to Portadown in the Setanta Sports Cup on 7 March 2011, and his league début on 25 March 2011 as a sub at home to Galway United. A second year student at DCU. | |
| Roberto Lopes - Defender - 18 (Dublin; 17/6/1992) - This young centre back impressed with Bohemians' reserve and under-20 teams in season 2010 after joining from Belvedere, and he also played in the friendlies v. Wolves and Celtic. Roberto made his senior début in the FAI Ford Cup semi-final v. Sligo Rovers on 15 October 2010. His league début came in the opener away to Bray Wanderers on 4 March 2011, when he came on as a sub for Mark Rossiter. A cool-headed and intelligent performer who can play anywhere in the back four. Captain of the Bohemian 'A' team, he's a regular member of the first team squad. |  |
| Ryan McEvoy – Midfielder – 20 (Dublin; 19/7/1990) - Ryan joined Bohs in 2009. He made his league début at home to Drogheda United on 22 May 2009, and also played as sub in Bohs' 3-1 win over Waterford United in the EA Sports Cup final in September 2009. He was loaned out to Longford Town and then Athlone Town during season 2010. Rejoined Bohs as an amateur in February 2011. Skilful midfielder who can really pick a pass. |  |
| Barry Murphy – Goalkeeper – 25 (Dublin; 8/6/1985) - A product of Leicester Celtic, Barry joined Shamrock Rovers' under-17 team in 2002. He made his league début in May 2005 at Waterford and quickly established himself as first choice with the former Milltown club, where he made 151 league appearances. He won the first of his three Republic of Ireland under-23 caps v. Northern Ireland in November 2007. One of Bohemians' first signings for the 2010 season, he's a keenly intelligent keeper with fine reflexes and positional sense. Picked up his first medal by keeping a clean sheet in the 2010 Setanta Sports Cup final. Has made an impressive start to the 2011 season, one of many highlights a last minute penalty save away to St Pat's on 1 April though injured. |  |
| Ger O’Brien – Defender / Midfielder – 26 (Dublin; 2/7/1984) – Versatile performer who can play in either full back role or anywhere in midfield. Ger began his senior career with Athlone Town. After a spell with Kildare County he won player-of the-year at Shamrock Rovers in 2007. He surprisingly then transferred to Derry City for two years, joining Sporting Fingal for season 2010. Signed for Bohemians mid-February 2011 and is clearly going to be an important player for the Gypsies. |  |
| Chris O'Connor - Goalkeeper - 25 (Brisbane, Australia; 7/5/1985) - Formerly with Rochedale Rovers and Queensland in Australia, Chris signed for Bray Wanderers in 2003 when just 18. Was the PFAI's First Division goalkeeper of the year in 2004, his performances a key factor in Bray Wanderers' return to the Premier Division. Won under-20 and under-23 caps for Australia, the latter in Darwin in June 2008 v. Chile, impressing enough to be included in his country's 22-man squad for the Beijing Olympics. Signed for Bohemians last season and wa man-of-the-match on his competitive début for the Gypsies in the Setanta Sports Cup tie at home to Glentoran in March 2010. Only just back in training after a shoulder injury. |  |
Aidan Price – Defender – 29 (Dublin; 8/12/1981) – Experienced left-sided centre-back. Aidan played his youth football with Cherry Orchard. Made his league début with Kilkenny City, moving to Shamrock Rovers for season 2006. Won First Division (2006) and Premier Division (2010) titles with Rovers. Made the switch to Bohemians in February 2011, fitting seamlessly into the back four. Calm and unfussy, he's great in the air and has an excellent left foot.
|  |
Mark Rossiter – Defender / Midfielder – 27 (Sligo; 27/5/1983) – Mark can play in either full back position, as a sweeper, and more or less anywhere in midfield. An Ireland under-21 international, he made his senior début at Highbury in November 2002 in Sunderland’s 3-2 win in a Worthington Cup tie where he kept tabs on a World Cup-winner in Robert Pires. A very talented individual, Mark’s a fine passer and crosser of the ball. An expert from the penalty spot and a cracking shot from distance. Outstanding in Bohs' two UEFA Champions League games in 2009. One of the most popular players in the game, his versatility is another big plus.
|  |
| Craig Sexton - Goalkeeper - 19 (Dublin; 23/1/1992) - Craig captained Belvedere to the FAI Umbro Under-17 Cup shortly before signing for Bohemians in June 2010 and has shone in the reserve and under-20 teams.

He signed for Bohemians in February 2011, scoring on his senior début in the Setanta Sports Cup tie at home to Portadown on 1 March 2011.
