Shamrock Rovers F.C. has the following comment to make regarding social media posts by ex SRFC player, Liam Burt, on 28th February. The club feels that it is important that the false and inaccurate accounts of events, as set out by the player, be addressed.

Prior to the recent mutual cancellation of the player’s contract, Liam underwent surgery on an injury picked up whilst playing on loan at Shelbourne in 2024. The surgery was performed in the UK by a leading specialist at the cost and expense of Shamrock Rovers.

Liam is on record with the club stating his gratitude and thanks for the support he has received from the club during this period. This sentiment was also echoed by Liam’s advisors who are also on record for thanking Shamrock Rovers F.C. for their professionalism and approach to the player’s formal exit from the club.

Shamrock Rovers F.C. is extremely disappointed by Liam’s highly inappropriate messages sent to our management team before our important fixture against Shelbourne F.C. last night – we note that these messages were only posted after the player received his financial settlement from the club in lieu of his mutual cancellation.

We welcome the fact that the player has deleted his comments on social media, however we are reviewing all options available to the club in respect of any recourse we may take in addressing this situation.

We will make no further comment on this matter at this time.
