He signed for the Milltown club in November 1977 from  Shels, where he had lost 2 FAI Cup Finals, and in his first season he won the FAI Cup. He went to make 4 appearances in European competition for the Hoops and was in the side that played in the first ever European tie at Milltown. He returned to Shels in January 1981, where he ended his league career. His uncle Eddie Gannon also played for his country and his son Karl Gannon played for Rovers in the 1990s.
