Looks like he's coming back to MLS with Orlando. https://www.prosoccerusa.com/mls/or...y-sign-irish-american-centerback-shane-oneil/ What a disaster that move abroad was.
The move to Apollon was 100% sketchy to begin with and smelled to high heaven. No surprise it went terribly.
Via a contact here in Denver, I heard interest from OC was there for a while. I thought it had died off once Kreis was canned. From his funky ass contract with Apollon to injury to being frozen due to wanting to leave Holland his European advenure was a nightmare. I am glad it's over. Shane's a good kid that got jerked around. Here's to hoping OC can revive that career. Ironically, he will be backing up Jonthan Spector who I have always thought Shane reminded me of.
And what's even more bizarre is that he's been a dual USA-Irish citizen from birth. He simply had no need to give Apollon the time of day. I hope he's got himself a new agent since then.
I just want to post this story one more time as this thread draws to a conclusion. It illuminates a lot about Apollon Limassol and the sketchiness that surrounds the club and includes a section about O'Neill. https://theblacksea.eu/index.php?idT=88&idC=88&idRec=1270&recType=story
