Stints at Cork City, Galway United and Waterford followed before Gavan returned to the United Kingdom to join Hartlepool United. The midfielder made over 100 appearances for Hartlepool and played a vital part in helping the Pools re-secure football league status.

Gavan scored Hartlepool’s first goal back in the EFL against the Red Devils in a 1-0 victory on opening day in August 2021.

“Iam really pleased that this deal is done,” he said. “It has been in the pipeline for weeks now, and when I heard about the interest I knew that I wanted to get the deal over the line. I had heard about the interest via my agent, and I immediately spoke to people who

were connected with the club. Danilo, who was here last season is a good pal of mine, and he couldn’t speak highly enough of the club.”
