Once Aiden McGeady finally hangs up his boots after a career which has so far seen him play for six different clubs, he will undoubtedly be spoken of as a player who could have achieved so much more.  And while that train of thought may be the case a couple of years down the line, he is at the moment …

Losing Simon Grayson could have been bad news for Preston North End’s Irish collective – but it may not be bad news after all.

Cork City striker Sean Maguire will be joining Preston North End next month, but it looks as though he won’t be playing under the manager that signed him.

Having had a blistering start to the 2017 season following a breakout year in 2016, it is no wonder Cork City’s Sean Maguire has attracted admirers from England.  With eight goals to his name already this term, which included a five-game scoring streak at the start of the campaign, Maguire is now justifiably considered the League of Ireland’s hottest talent. …

The future of Cork City striker Sean Maguire has been cast into greater uncertainty on Wednesday, with reports emerging of the presence of a release clause in the forward’s contract.
