Former Ireland star gives Dundalk new lease of life with Euro hopes on knife edge. Daryl Horgan has returned to Oriel Park as League of Ireland season gears up for a fascinating conclusion.
David Sneyd DARYL HORGAN SIGNED his contract with Dundalk on Monday, flew into Dublin airport the next day and arrived at Oriel Park almost immediately in order to not let the cat out of the bag.
It was on 10 May that Horgan, capped 17 times for the Republic of Ireland and who turns 31 next week, knew that he would be departing Wycombe Wanderers. As the weeks passed and agents – unconnected to the player, who it’s understood was a driving force of his own future – began to talk, Dundalk knew that interest stecthed beyond the UK and Ireland.
“When I settled on it , I was buzzing,” he explained. “I was like a kid at Christmas last night… “I was chomping at the bit last night; ‘let me in, let me play, let me train’ so to do that this morning was brilliant and to have that excitement of going in every day again is great.”
