Pat Hoban
Dundalk striker Pat Hoban is supposedly set for a trial with Scottish Premier Division outfit Kilmarnock next week according to reports this morning.
The 23-year-old, who bagged a club record 20 league goals this season, has received interest from a number of Irish sides since helping Dundalk to the league title last month. However, it is understood he will remain at Oriel Park providing he is still plying his trade in this country.
Hoban is up for the PFAI Player of the Year award, which will be given out in Dublin tomorrow night. Also nominated for the same prize is Richie Towell, who recently completed a trial with Cardiff City and is waiting on word as to whether the Bluebirds will be offering him a contract or not.
Meanwhile, Dundalk are understood to have told goalkeeper Peter Cherrie they will not be offering him a deal next season, bringing the Scottish netminder’s tenure with the club to an end after he initially signed in the summer of 2009.
Indeed, Cherrie is one of just two Dundalk players from last season’s title-winning squad on the PFAI’s transfer list along with Simon Kelly.
