We would like to wish all our best to Frank Bradshaw-Ryan on his step up to professional rugby in Auch. While we will miss Frank around the club and on the pitch; we are really excited to see what the future holds for him and will keep everyone updated on his journey as he goes.

Frank comes from a life-long Shannon family that includes a line of Shannon players and past presidents of our club. Frank himself has been playing with Shannon since a young age.

While Frank has always been a force to reckoned with on the pitch; he has really come into his own in the past few seasons and it would be difficult to find any AIL player who is more effective and dominating in the air and around the pitch.

Frank is a Shannon man through and through and his presence will be missed off the pitch also. He is part of a fantastic group of young players who are a tight knit group and he will be missed by them as well as our regular members and supporters who have gotten to know Frank as a senior player over the past few years.

Best of luck to you Frank on a well deserved chance to prove yourself at the top. We are really proud to be able to count you as another one of our successful young players who have turned professional.
