BringBackTheBlizzard Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 If he's signed for Derry City, he's in the Republic of Ireland's league rather than Northern Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any insights are helpful Derry started playing in the Republic in the 80s after the violence of the Troubles had made football games there very dangerous due to their home stadium's proximity to the Bogside neighbourhood and security forces' refusal to go there for their own safety. Only a few LOI Premier division clubs are proper full-time outfits as the league has struggled with financing and attendance for a long time. That said, the quality of play is much better than the wages would indicate, as players regularly move back and forth between the LOI and League One and League Two in England. Some of the league's best players have moved on to careers in the Championship and the English and Scottish Premierships as well (including former Derry City player James McClean).

Guest Tg11 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Playing in Ireland at least right now could be good for him and who knows maybe if he does really well there then it could be enough for him to move to another European club in another European league.

Guest Tg11 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 He wants to stay in Europe. I can't say as I blame him even though he did say he is not ruling out USL however if he truly wants to evolve into a better player staying in Europe may prove beneficial.
