Sligo Rovers' Gareth McElroy has impressed at the Showgrounds this season
Gareth McElroy picked up a knock in Sligo Rovers’ 2-2 draw with Galway United on Friday that has Bit O’Red boss John Russell concerned.
19-year-old Burnfoot native McElroy sat out the initial part of the 2024 season with a torn meniscus and Russell admits he’s now hoping a scan on the same knee doesn’t reveal a recurrence of a similar injury.
“I thought his performance was incredible tonight,” Russell said after the weekend’s draw, a result that ends Rovers’ hopes of securing European football at the Showgrounds for 2025.

"Unfortunately he’s picked up that injury at the end. We’re going to have to get him assessed. It looks like it was a bad one.
“We’ll get him scanned, we’ll look after him. I’ve huge belief in the medical staff at the club that they’ll look after him and get him back on the pitch. He can be really happy with his performance.”
