TSG Hoffenheim have had an improved third bid for Michael Noonan accepted by reigning Irish champions Shamrock Rovers.

After previous negotiations failed, the Irish Examiner reports that an upfront €1.8million offer for the striker has led to an agreement.

The Sinsheim side had two initial offers declined but Rovers felt their third attempt was closer to their €2million valuation.

Noonan became the youngest ever scorer in UEFA Conference League history when he scored against Molde in February 2025.

Despite only being 17-years-old, the marksman is already an Irish U-21 international with 3 appearances and one goal to his name.

In his 46 games for the Hoops to date, Noonan has found the back of the net 9 times and chipping in with 4 assists.
