Drogheda United have confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Fynn Talley.
The 23-year-old stopper most recently played for Kitchee in the Hong Kong Premier League, where he picked up the Golden Glove award for the 2024/25 season.
The London-born keeper makes the move to County Louth, where he is expected to push Drogheda’s current number one, Luke Dennison.
Back in September, Dennison signed a two-year extension to prolong his stay at United Park.

Fynn Talley came through the youth system at Arsenal and Brighton and while under contract with the Seagulls, he spent time on loan at non-league clubs and with Cliftonville in Northern Ireland.
He spent the 2023/24 season with Peterborough United, but despite an FA Cup appearance and penalty heroics against Salford City, he was released at the end of that season.
Talley’s next foray would take him to the Far East, but now he needs to make an impact with the Boynesiders to push on in his career.
Fynn Talley strengthens us – Kevin Doherty
Drogheda United boss Kevin Doherty backed his man to play a role this season.
“I’m delighted to have Fynn on board, said Doherty.
“He spent some time with us in pre-season and has really impressed us.
“He has very good experience for his age and really strengthens us.”
Consolidation will be the aim in the upcoming season, as United aim to build on their sixth-place finish in the Premier Division in 2025.
They suffered a huge blow when Drogheda United were expelled from the UEFA Conference League due to a multi-club ownership wrangle.
From the elation of winning the FAI Cup in 2024 to the despair of having the reward taken away.
Their fate echoed what happened to Crystal Palace with their demotion from the Europa League, but the Boynesiders were left reeling when their apparent European adventure was completely taken from them.
Drogheda took their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but their appeal was unsuccessful.
