On 11 February 2008, he signed for Sligo Rovers of the League of Ireland Premier Division.
His new manager Paul Cook, who he previously played with at Accrington Stanley, was happy with his latest signing ahead of his team's new campaign, "I didn't think I'd get him, I thought that he would be out of our reach but, thankfully we have secured him," said Cook.
"I don't want to put pressure on him, but I'm certain that the fans will see that he is the real deal and with the other signings we've made, I believe that we're in for a very exciting season."
He scored his first league goal for Sligo Rovers in a 3–1 win over Cobh Ramblers. He helped Rovers to qualification for the UEFA Europa League, formerly known as the UEFA Cup.
