No pressure now Robbie but the man you’re coming into replace was sort of a big deal.
Champions Dundalk have moved quickly to fill the massive void in their squad created by the departure of Richie Towell by signing up one of the most exciting talents in the SSE Airtricity league.
Towell’s departure to Brighton means that the champions have a desperate need for a goalscorer and have turned their eyes to UCD’s Robbie Benson.
Dundalk FC are delighted to announce that Robbie Benson has joined the club. More to follow shortly on https://t.co/2BZKYsYTb1

Benson has spent five years with the students, afterspending two years with Athlone.
The 23-year old featured for UCD in last year’s Europa League campaign, and will get a chance to test himself in the early stages of the Champions league with the double winners.
Delighted for Robbie Benson. Hope he gets the game time. One of the top talents in this country.
