SHAMROCK ROVERS sensation Danny Mandroiu has joined Lincoln City.
Mandroiu netted 22 goals across 53 league games for the League of Ireland side and has now been rewarded with a move across the pond for his displays.
The 23-year-old started his career at Brighton & Hove Albion, before moving back to Ireland to sign for Bohemians in 2019. He scored 14 goals in 37 league matches for the Phibsborough side.
A move to Rovers in December 2020 ended with him winning the title for Bohs crosstown rivals in Tallaght that same year.
Mandroiu has been capped by Republic of Ireland at under-16, under-19 and under-21 level. He is yet to make his senior international bow, though was called up to Stephen Kenny's squad last year.
Shamrock Rovers announced the move via their own Twitter account, "We would like to thank Danny for his contribution to Shamrock Rovers over the past 18 months and we wish him all the very best in his future career."
He posted his own message on Instagram saying, "I would like to thank everyone @Shamrockroverofficial for the past two years, the gaffer, the management, the fans. I loved every minute of playing for this special club”

According to Lincolnshirelive, Lincoin activated a release clause in Mandroiu's contract by agreeing to pay a fee of around £30,000 for the Ireland international.
During the week Rovers boss Stephen Bradley confirmed Mandroiu's move to England, without saying it.
“Danny has been brilliant for us, and I don't want to see him go but he’s up at the end of the year. Sometimes it's just unfortunate that sometimes contracts do run down. Both parties have tried over the last while to get him to stay.”
"We’ve been really good, and the club has been good at transfers over the last five years, protecting ourselves with long contracts and understanding where we are in the food chain in terms of selling players."
