Damien Duff says he won’t let up on young star Jack Moylan now that the highly-rated prospect has signed a new deal with Shelbourne.
Ireland legend Duff reckons he has a unique talent in the 20-year-old.
Moylan on Friday committed himself to the Tolka Park outfit until the end of next season, handing Shels a huge boost in the process.

Duff said: "I am very happy that Jack has decided to extend his stay with us.
“He has high ambitions in football but I thoroughly believe that this environment is the best place for Jack right now to keep growing and improving.
“He can do things that nobody else can do in the league. He excites the fans and he excites me.
“I am very tough on him and will continue to be as I believe he has the ability to take his game to a whole new level.”
The former Bohemians prospect has played 41 times in the SSE Airtricity League, including 17 times in the Premier Division this year.
He is the latest player to sign an extension in recent weeks, following JJ Lunney, Shane Farrell, Jad Hakiki, Gavin Molloy and Brian McManus.
Moylan said: “I’m delighted to sign for another year, it’s such a great club and definitely the most I’ve enjoyed my football ever so far in my career.
“It’s a proper club here with proper people in it and I can’t wait to see what the next year holds.
“The club’s going in the right direction and everyone’s buying into what’s happening on and off the pitch and I’m just delighted to be a part of it.”
