Shelbourne have confirmed that midfielder Harry Wood has joined Stockport County for an undisclosed fee.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old, who first joined Shels from Hull on loan in 2023 before signing permanently a year later, has signed a three-year deal, subject to international clearance, with the League One side \u2013 who lost the play-off final to Bolton Wanderers in May.<\/p>\n
Wood’s departure will be a blow for new Shels boss John Russell with games to come in the FAI Cup and Conference League.<\/p>\n
It’s County\u2019s second Irish signing in recent weeks with defender Eoghan O\u2019Connell joining from Barnsley at the end of June.<\/p>\n
Wood had contributed 10 goals and five assists for Shelbourne this season and the Tolka Park outfit offered him a new contract to remain, but he opted to return to England.<\/p>\n
He scored the winning goal – his first of the season – on the final day of the 2024 campaign against Derry City to secure a first league title in 18 years for Shelbourne.<\/p>\n
“Everyone at Shelbourne thanks Harry for the significant contribution he has made during his time at Tolka Park and wishes him every success in his future career,” Shelbourne said.<\/p>\n
Wood will link up with Jimmy McNulty’s first-team squad on Monday, following the team’s return from San Pedro del Pinatar.<\/p>\n
