Portsmouth defender Conor Shaughnessy has recently signed a new three-year contract with the newly-promoted Championship club. The former Republic of Ireland Under-21 international has had spells at Leeds, Rochdale, and Burton in the past.
Shaughnessy’s impressive performance last season saw him start 45 out of Pompey’s 46 League One games. He scored four goals, one of which was the winner against Barnsley in April that secured promotion for the team. His contributions on the field did not go unnoticed, as he was named in the League One Team of the Year for his outstanding play.
Pompey boss John Mousinho expressed his satisfaction with Shaughnessy’s performance, stating that the defender’s goals and defensive abilities were crucial for the team’s success. Mousinho highlighted Shaughnessy’s significant impact on the team and emphasized the importance of retaining him for the future, hence the decision to offer him a new contract. The club is thrilled to have Shaughnessy on board for an extended period and looks forward to his continued contribution to the team’s success.
Shaughnessy’s signing marks a significant milestone for Pompey as they continue their journey back into top-flight football after being relegated from the Premier League two years ago. With Shaughnessy on board, Pompey fans can look forward to seeing their favorite player take on some of the biggest challenges in English football this season.
