Tommy Barrett was clearly devastated by the news buth wished Ellis well for the future.

“Connor is going to be a big loss for us and was really good so far this year. He is a great lad to have around the place.

“I’m sorry to see him go because he gives us a real attacking outlet as he is really quick and you can play him out wide as well. He has chipped in with a few goals this season.

“He is a big loss and you could see it down in Wexford even as the game opened up he was a loss as well. We wish him well and I hope he goes on to have a good career for himself.

Limerick FC face Shelbourne at the Markets Field this coming Friday with the game kicking off at 7.45 pm.
