After leaving Celtic last summer Liam Burt has signed for Dublin side Bohemians.

The midfielder was a surprise signing in the summer of 2019 after being released by Steven Gerrard.

Huge things had been predicted for Burt as a youth team players but injuries and loan stints at Alloa and Dumbarton failed to provide the development hoped for.

Burt played for Celtic in the Reserve Cup and Glasgow Cup last season but he had his work cut out to get anywhere near the first team, a situation that Luca Connell is also in.

After being released in the summer he went on trial at Barnsley and Sunderland before being linked with a move to Aberdeen in October.

With no matchday income coming in club’s are reluctant to add to their costs with Burt still to make any sort of impression at first team level.

Bohemians finished the 2020 season in second place with the season restricted to 20 matches.
