O’Shea being lined up by Burnley

Well said 68.

So good to see a young player appreciating what the club has done for him for many years and repays that by signing a new contract.

Maybe Cleary and several others will rethink where they are and what the club has done for them getting them to this position.

He played schoolboy football league with St Kevin's BFC over here in North County Dublin....
A very and highly regarded football club over here....they don't just teach youngsters how to develop football skills....but their approach is more holistic, looking after your body and mind as well as food....he is highly regarded around the Irish scene and comes as no surprise that he should sign a new contract...he remains hungry for the game, in age when heads are too easily turned by "the show me the money" attitude.
Good on yeah Dar.....

Very true. Didn't sign for us until he was either 16 or 16 1/2 and it's why I shy away from claiming him as an academy product as it stretches the boundaries a bit just as it did with Chris Wood.

That said although St Kevin's were a huge part of his development as a youth he'd been training with Albion for a couple of years during school holidays prior to signing.

Good all round sportsman is Dara, very into his Gaelic sports as a kid. Sound lad too from what I've been told.
