TUESDAY – Leahy Pens a New Deal!
On Tuesday evening, Darragh Leahy became the latest Blue to commit his future to the club by signing a new contract at the RSC.
Leahy had an impressive first year in Blue, becoming a fans favourite in the heart of the Blues defence with his ball playing quality along with his consistent defensive duties.
The Blues number 15 made 36 appearances across the course of 2024, and will look to add to that with Keith Long’s side next season!

THURSDAY – Former Arsenal Midfielder Olayinka Joins The Blues!
We were delighted to announce our second signing of the window on Thursday afternoon, after James Olayinka signed on the dotted line to become a Blue!
After coming up through the Gunners academy where he also spent time in & around their first-team – even netting in a pre-season game for the Arsenal first-team – Olayinka makes the move to the RSC off the back of two successful years with Cheltenham Town in League One.
An exciting box-to-box midfilder with an abundance of energy, we look forward to seeing James get the RSC crowd of their feet in 2025!
