Brisbane Roar has locked in yet another one its senior squad members with Jay O’Shea committing his future to the Club.
The Irishman, who earned the Players’ Player of the Year award in his maiden season in the A-League, has penned a new multi-year deal at the Club.
The experienced midfielder has marshalled the Roar midfield throughout his 31-game tenure at the Club and is fast becoming one of the league’s most creative influences.
The opportunity to extend his stay in Australia, and at Brisbane Roar, was one O’Shea was quick to grab.
“Since Day 1, I have loved every minute. Everyone at the club has made me feel so welcome,” O’Shea said.

There s something hugely satisfying about watching the Brisbane Roar play under Warren Moon something that was clearly on show in Saturday night s emphatic 3-1 victory over Adelaide United at Dolphin stadium.
If anything was to be a tonic for the delayed kick off for the 8,747-strong crowd a storm in Sydney pushing this match back, resulting in it ending at the unsociable hour of 10:30pm local time it was the way Brisbane played in the first half.

Wenzel-Halls headed home in the 37th minute with teammate Jay O Shea doubling the lead with a cracking long-range strike eight minutes later at Redcliffe s Dolphin Stadium.
The young forward snared his brace in the 78th minute, before Adelaide s Nathan Konstandopoulos pulled back a goal four minutes later.
The win, Brisbane s third on the bounce, drew them level with Central Coast - who play on Sunday evening - on points and goal difference but ahead on goals scored.

Newcastle Jets need to pick themselves up quickly as they search for their first A-League points of the season against Brisbane Roar on Wednesday.
The Jets fell 2-1 against Macarthur FC in the Hunter on Sunday and interim coach Craig Dean’s side face a fast turnaround, returning to the McDonald Jones Stadium pitch to face the Queenslanders 72 hours later.
Newcastle have also been beaten by the Central Coast Mariners, 1-0, and Western Sydney Wanderers, 2-1, this season and they will be determined to get off the mark against a Roar side that have delivered mixed performances in their two games so far.
