Keane joined Rovers at the start of the year. She got her first taste of senior football with Shelbourne and, with Athlone Town, won the FAI Cup in 2023 and League title last season.
The 18-year-old has agreed a three-year deal with Leicester which should strengthen her claims to become a member of Carla Ward's squad having won her first senior call-up in 2022.

John Shortt strikes gold in 100m backstroke at World Aquatics Junior Swimming Championships
Ireland's John Shortt has claimed the gold medal in the 100m backstroke at the World Aquatics Junior Swimming Championships in Romania. The 18-year-old from Galway clocked 53.86 seconds in Otopeni, just 0.13 outside Shane Ryan's Irish record. Silver went the way of Russia's Georgii Iakovlev, swimming under the neutral flag, in 53.94, while Gavin Keogh of the United States rounded off the podium in 54.06. Speaking after the race, the National Centre Limerick swimmer said: "It feels pretty good, just so much pride at the minute, getting up there and singing my national anthem on a World stage now, not just a European stage. "I'm just so proud to be Irish and proud to be here. It's been a long season, but to end it like that, it's just so cool. "The meets not finished, but I'm just saying, the last one hundred back of the season, we've ended on a positive note so, I'm very happy with that. "The race went really well, I was just holding on for dear life towards the end, but we got the hand on the wall first and that's really all that matters." Shortt, who is the only Irish swimmer at the championships, will also swim the 50m and 200m backstroke later this week.

Joey O'Brien embracing high stakes of huge Linfield rematch
Shelbourne boss Joey O'Brien insists his team will embrace the passion and high stakes of their massive Conference League play-off showdown against Linfield, ahead of tomorrow night's first leg at Tolka Park (live on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player from 7.30pm). Shels beat the NIFL Premiership outfit 2-1 on aggregate when the teams met in the first round of Champions League qualification back in July. They've both since slid down the European competitions through the qualifier route to set up a mouthwatering rematch in the third-tier Conference League. If O'Brien's men can get past Linfield again, they would be guaranteed six more Conference League games, three at home and three away, over the autumn/winter period. Victory is also worth a minimum of €3.8m. The stakes are high, and the atmosphere in both legs is sure to be feisty. After they edged through at Windsor Park thanks to a 1-1 draw, Shels celebrated with an Irish tricolour on the pitch. Linfield's players and fans will likely use those scenes as extra motivation to turn over the Dubliners, but O'Brien has no regrets about those boisterous celebrations. "Going up there, coming off the pitch, I think their fans clapped us off as well," he said on Wednesday. "We didn't get too carried away. I remember, obviously, in the dressing room and stuff like that, there was nothing like that. "That moment of euphoria, that's what it's about and that's what you play the game for. I wasn't going to tell the lads to calm down. You put so much work and effort into it, when you win, you celebrate. "It's a bit like Rijeka here the other night (after they snatched victory in the Europa League third-round qualifiers). I mean, for me to start complaining about them celebrating and the noise they were making in their dressing room... that's what football's about. "It's about celebrating when you win. And when you get through things... I'm sure, whoever gets through, they will be the ones celebrating and that's all that matters." O'Brien confirmed goalkeeper Conor Kearns is out after he was withdrawn 32 minutes into Sunday's FAI Cup loss against St Pat's, but he has no other injury concerns, with Sean Boyd back in the squad having recovered from a calf injury. Linfield were still in pre-season when they came to Dublin in July. They've had seven games under their belt, with dangerous attacking pair Kieran Offord and Matthew Fitzpatrick more than capable of doing damage. "They're a good team," said O'Brien. "I've been watching them sicne we last played them. Player wise, most of them played against us so from that point of view they've not probably changed the way they play. But that was that game, they might change it again. "They went with two out-and-out centre-forwards in the game I seen but they might mix it up tomorrow. "It was the start of their pre-season so they're obviosuly going to be fitter and match sharper, so it's going to be a tough game." While O'Brien has been keeping tabs on Linfield, his opposite number David Healy has been monitoring Shels as well. He'll be relishing the opportunity to exact revenge in a tie that's likely to go right to the wire. Reflecting on meeting the same team twice in European qualification, O'Brien added: "Especially in Europe it's something you don't think will happen but it is what it is, it's here now, it's a great opportunity for both teams and I suppose if you'd offered both teams this opportunity at the very start of European competition that we'd be playing each other in a knockout game for group football, I think both teams would have taken the hand off you. "I'm sure we'll have a gameplan in and out of possession, set plays, attacking and defending. They're really strong as well on their set plays, we need to be on guard as well."

Why Premier League drought does not concern Ireland legend
Just five Irish players started the opening round of Premier League fixtures last weekend. That's the sort of info which, once upon a time, would have driven Enid Blyton to write a new children's book: five go on an impossible mission. Yet Kevin Kilbane, ambassador for Online Casino, doesn't see it that way. Read more: Troy Parrott, Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe… where Dubliner features among top scorers in 2025 Having soldiered away in an Ireland shirt for 14 years and 110 caps, Kilbane knows a thing or two about adjusting to international football from England's second tier. Initially he found it hard playing Championship football with West Brom and then lining out against technically better and tactically different teams. But today's Championship - where the bulk of Irish players now ply their trade - is a completely different League in terms of style compared to then. Kilbane said: 'While it is hard to see so few Irish players get their chance in the Premier League, every Irish fan has accepted we are not going to be like the glory days anymore, in that we are not going to have 15 to 20 starters per week. And I can't see the number of Irish starters changing any time soon. 'But thankfully we still have a lot of quality. And that is where we have to build from - the five players who did get their start for Premier League clubs last weekend. 'Add in Evan Ferguson, Adam Idah and Troy Parrott to that mix and you have the nucleus of a good team who are all performing at a decent level. 'And while we are always going to look towards the Premier League as being the No1 place to be, to have Troy doing what he is doing in the Netherlands, cannot be overlooked. "We hope Evan can produce the goods with Roma. Adam Idah is doing great stuff with Celtic. Adam Idah (Image:) 'Plus, I wouldn't be too down on the Championship because that league makes real players. We cannot undervalue what it means to be a regular in that League and a serious Championship player.' Once we did underestimate it, though, with the former Ireland Under 21 manager Don Givens describing the league as 'dour, tactically predictable and alien to what is required at international football'. But that was a long time ago, back in 2002. Now Kilbane believes the influx of non British and Irish players and coaches has had a transformative effect and thereby has made it a bridgeable leap to go from being a club player in the Championship to an international performer. Kilbane said: 'When I started out in my career in the fourth tier, every single manager was British. League One would have been the same back then. The Championship then was also British focused. A foreign coach was rare. 'But that landscape has changed. The coaches are bringing something entirely different to the players, a new way of thinking, a new way of playing. 'So in terms of how a team sets up tactically, I don't see too much difference between the Championship and international football. Technically yes, international players are better. The quality is a lot higher but it is not night and day like it may once have been.' And overlooking all this is an Icelandic coach, Heimir Hallgrimsson, who has begun to win over his critics. Kilbane said: 'I like Hallgrimsson and how he has been approaching games. 'But let's be honest, if we get beaten by Hungary, we are done. 'We have to win that opening game to give ourselves a chance of being at the World Cup next summer. Our last two campaigns have been done before they started. That is why it comes back to the utmost importance of this first game. 'I am hopeful.' Kevin Kilbane was speaking on behalf of Online Casino. See for further details
