Sean McDermott have left Romanian outfit Dinamo Bucharest after an extremely short spell which saw him play just three games.
The 25-year-old, who’s father Terence hails from Donegal village Mountcharles, was called into Martin O’Neill’s squad for last summer’s UEFA Nations League tie against Wales and a subsequent friendly against Poland, but has yet to make a senior appearance for the Republic.
McDermott kept clean sheets in his first two games – both of which Dinamo won – but was axed after a 2-1 home defeat to FC Botosani.
The goalkeeper was on the bench for the following game against Dunarea Calarasi, before boss Mircea Rednic confirmed he had left the club.
“I asked for a goalkeeper, not a libero, that is life. I told you, I am very demanding.
“I don’t want the next season to catch us and not be sure what we did during this period. We can not forgive anybody next season if we miss the play-off.”
