My parents do say that the minute I could walk I would always want the ball. So, I followed on from that age, just playing with my friends and playing with my local club. And then, I eventually moved to the academy team, which was Sligo Rovers in my hometown. I balanced the two, the university and football for three years, just before I came to Como. Now, I am giving professional football my full amount of time rather than studying since I have recently completed my degree.”

“Yeah, Fabregas is here now. He is a really good guy. He is really humble. Going forward, he is someone you can only learn from. He has won everything in the game. So, I am looking forward to getting some tips and playing with him in future. As I said, he has won everything there is to win and played with the best players in the world. So, it is only going to help me.”
