Afolabi Returns to Shamrock Rovers | Dublin News

Shamrock Rovers just pulled off a major coup by signing Dublin-born striker Jonathan Afolabi from KV Kortrijk — the man who netted 15 goals last season to lead the Irish league in scoring. At 26, Afolabi’s return to his hometown club, where he played schoolboy football, adds emotional weight to this blockbuster move. Signed to a multi-year deal, he’s already a top target for the Champions League qualifiers, with manager Stephen Bradley praising his age, fit profile, and proven goalscoring ability. Afolabi even turned down offers from Belgium and England to join Rovers — and could make his debut as soon as Tuesday night against Floriana. This isn’t just a signing — it’s a statement of ambition.
