Jack Carty was a triple threat growing up
Jack Carty could well have been lining out for Southampton with Shane Long at the weekend. Instead, he's preparing for knock-out rugby up in Belfast.Carty played minor football for his county, Roscommon, and was only denied an All-Ireland by an extremely talented Kerry side, who bet them in Croke Park. He also played soccer and was good enough to represent Ireland at Under 15 level - playing alongside Jeff Hendrick and Robbie Brady - before concentrating on rugby.
By the time he was in his mid teens, however, he was good enough to play for his country, and good enough to keep a future Premier League star on the sidelines. He commented: Staving off the claims of Doherty, who is in great form for Wolves and now has five Ireland caps, is some going. GAA and rugby were starting to demand more of his time, as well as school work, but Carty did not hesitate when Southampton showed an interest in him."My mum was actually the secretary in the club, the soccer club, at the time. So I got this letter saying, look, you've been invited to go on trial. I was packing the back going,'Oh there's a transfer embargo.
