DANNY MANDROIU is staying at Shamrock Rovers and has agreed a new long-term deal with the Hoops.
Mandroiu, 26, rejoined the Hoops last September on a short-team deal after ending his two-year stay at Lincoln City.

Out of contract over the winter, he explored options in Europe but has now agreed a new contract to remain in Tallaght.
The Dubliner said: “I’m really happy to get the deal over the line and really happy to be at Rovers for the foreseeable future.
“I was considering both and what might come up, but Rovers was top of my list, and I wanted to be here so, as I said, I’m excited to be staying at Rovers again.”
The attacking midfielder joined the Hoops in 2021 from Bohemians and impressed quickly as he was called into Stephen Kenny’s Ireland squad.
He departed midway through the 2022 season with Lincoln activated a clause in his Rovers contract with a bid as he went on to score 15 goals in two seasons with the Imps.
Madroiu turned down a longer deal deal in England and then came home to Dublin to join the Hoops appearing 15 times and scoring one goal in the second half of last term.
But he believes there is more to come from him now after getting a full-season training.
He said: “Pre-season is key, it gives you a base that sets you up for your whole season. I’m getting the full pre-season under my belt right now.”
Amorim said: “I’d put [goalkeeping coach Jorge] Vital on the bench before a player who doesn’t give the maximum every day. I’ll not change in that department.
“It’s always the same reason. The reason is the training.
“The way that I see what a footballer should do in training, in life, every day. If things don’t change, I will not change.
“Same situation for every player — if you do the maximum, if you do the right things, we can use every player.”

BILL Gates has admitted he was “a loner, a nerd, a bit obnoxious” at school and didn’t have a girlfriend while he began to build Microsoft.
The geeky tech billionaire, 69, makes the confession in upcoming memoir Source Code, which is out next week.

Gates writes in the book of his difficult childhood while studying at exclusive North Seattle private boys’ school Lakeside in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
“I was called a loner, a nerd, a bit obnoxious,” he says. “I was probably all of those things.
“I didn’t fit in, and I didn’t know how to fix that. So I pretended that I didn’t want to.”
Gates tells the story of how he was rejected after asking his crush to go to the high school prom with him.
He says the girl, named Vicki Weeks, was one of the most popular in his senior class at Lakeside.
He became besotted with her while they worked together on a theatrical performance of Black Comedy, by British playwright Peter Shaffer.
After he worked up the courage to propose going to the prom with him, Vicki asked to be given until the next day as there was another boy she had her eye on.
The next day she broke the news that “her guy came through”.
“It took me a while to get over the rejection; I shied away from making myself vulnerable for a while after that,” Gates writes.
Gates also admits that when he later decided to drop out of Harvard in 1975 to focus on building Microsoft he had “no girlfriend, no hobbies.”
He reveals in the book that he experimented with LSD on several occasions in his youth.
Recounting the first time he did acid, Gates says that he had smoked pot earlier and was feeling “uninhibited” when a friend offered him LSD.
He took the drug without realizing its effects would still be present when he had an appointment for dental surgery the next day.
Gates says he vowed never to drop acid on his own again – especially if he had plans for the following day.
Bill Gates bio
Microsoft founder Bill Gates is one of the richest men who has ever lived and regularly features high on the list of the world's wealthiest individuals.
Gates grew up in Seattle, Washington with his two sisters and parents.
He started Microsoft with Paul Allen after dropping out of college.
Gates stepped down from the board of Microsofton March 13, 2020, nearly 45 years after he founded the company with Paul Allen and 20 years after he stepped down as CEO in 2000.
He has now sold or given away much of his stake in the company.
In 2000, he and his then-wife Melinda Gates worked together to found the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, one of the largest charitable foundations in the world with an endowment of $50 billion.
To date, Gates has donated $35.8 billion worth of Microsoft stock to the Gates Foundation.
Forbes places his next worth as of January 2025 at $106.9 billion.
The book delves into Gates’ experiences after he was sent to get therapy because of his bad relationship with his parents.
He says that his mother and father sought help after an argument at the dinner table which saw Gates behave like a “smart aleck.”
He was so insulting to his mother that his father threw a glass of water in Gates’ face, prompting him to respond “Thanks for the shower.”
Gates writes that the therapy sessions helped him realize he was destined to win his “imagined war” with his parents and that he was in fact a “lucky kid.”
Gates says his parents were left “stunned” when the therapist told them “Give it up. He’s going to win.”
