Shamrock Rovers ace Gary O’Neill has hailed Leon Pohls for a new found maturity between the posts.
The German goalkeeper has stepped up to replace regular No 1 Alan Mannus, who is out for the foreseeable future with a broken and dislocated finger.
Pohls, 26, is in his fifth season with the Hoops but has been limited to 12 competitive appearances in the Premier Division, FAI Cup, League Cup and Europe.
