Dublin, Ireland (Betting Express) - Irish champions Shelbourne FC did not waste any time strengthening its squad.

With the Premier League season officially coming to a close Monday, Shelbourne announced the signing of three new players, including Bohemians Glen Crowe. Bobby Ryan and Colin Hawkins also come with Crowe from Bohemians, while Gary O'Neill joins the club from relegated Dublin City and Richie Baker from Major League Soccer's New England Revolution.

Crowe finished this past season as the second leading scorer behind Shelbourne's Jason Byrne. Crow signed a four-year deal with Shelbourne, which will be thinking about a third straight league title when preseason training begins January 27, and will now have the opportunity to work with Byrne and Glen Fitzpatrick to give Shelbourne a potent offensive attack.

Ryan and Hawkins each put pen to paper on three-year deals with the club. O'Neill and Baker signed on for two years. All five new signings are expected to be introduced in the next few days.

Shelbourne did release six payers in order to make room on the team. Ger McCarthy, Alan McDermott, Thomas Morgan, Tony McCarthy, Alan Murphy and Juan Sera were all let go.
