Rovers beat the competition to secure the services of this highly rated midfielder. Like Aaron Doran and Gavin Gunning, Gearoid was a member of the Republic of Ireland under 17 side that played in the UEFA Under 17 finals in Turkey in May 2008, and then with the Irish under 19s in November in their qualifiers.

Scored his first goals for the Academy when bagging a brace in Rovers' 3-0 win over Sunderland in March 2009.

The 2009/10 season sees Gearoid move up to the Reserve squad where he'll be looking to cement a place in Iain Brunskill's midfield.
