Shamrock Rovers sign Éamon Zayed. Shamrock Rovers have today announced the signing of striker Éamon Zayed. The 29-year-old forward brings extensive experience and goal scoring ability to Tallaght and he has signed with the Hoops until the end of the 2014 season. The player, capped 12 times at under 21 level for the Republic of Ireland, has in recent years gained valuable international football experience playing with Libya whilst playing his club football in Iran. In 2011 the striker signed for Tehran Pro League club Persepolis where he was part of their Asian Football Confederation Champions League squad. Zayed is a familiar face to League of Ireland fans having played with Bray Wanderers, Drogheda United (where he won a League and Setanta Sports Cup double), Sporting Fingal and Derry City. He was the Airtricity League top goalscorer in 2011 scoring 23 goals for Derry. His efforts earned him the PFAI Player of the Year award that season and the Hoops hope that his goal scoring firepower will help the club in their quest for further trophies under manager Trevor Croly.
