Stephen Bradley says Jack Byrne has come back to Shamrock Rovers a better player than he left - despite hardly playing a game in an entire year.
Byrne left Tallaght on the expiry of his contract at the end of the 2020 season to join former Ireland boss Mick McCarthy at APOEL in Cyprus.
But McCarthy was sacked the day after Byrne made his debut as a substitute in a fourth successive defeat to Doxa in January, just two weeks after the midfielder's arrival.
