His one season at Tolka Park was a huge success as Shels won the League of Ireland [2], Tony was named PFAI Young Player of the Year.^[2] and a further two U21 caps came his way.

Tony completed a move across the channel to Millwall FC in 1992, scoring on his debut and picking up the Man of the Match award. Following three years at Millwall, he then signed for Colchester United. After five years in England he returned to Shels where he went on to win further major honors including winning the League of Ireland three more times and also the FAI cup.
