Shamrock Rovers head coach Stephen Bradley is hoping for a successful conclusion to talks with goalkeeper Alan Mannus.
The 40-year-old, who helped Rovers become League of Ireland champions for a third consecutive year, is out of contract and is mulling over whether to call time on his career or push on for another year.
Bradley is currently trying to convince him to stay - but says he is already looking at a plan B, should the former Northern Ireland netminder decide to hang up his gloves.
