Jack Byrne is available again for Shamrock Rovers after a lengthy absence.
ON FRIDAY, Jack Byrne played his first minutes for Shamrock Rovers in 217 days after coming on late in the 1-1 draw with Bohemians .Rovers boss Stephen Bradley admitted he was unsure when Byrne would be ready to start again and said that the club had struggled to identify the nature of the injury.
Byrne was called up to train with the Ireland squad by Martin O’Neill in March 2016 and won the first of four caps just over three years later during Mick McCarthy’s brief reign.Advertisement Between 2015 and 2019, he switched clubs seven times including loans, with some stints more successful than others .
Another ill-fated move followed as Byrne returned to the Hoops after making just five appearances in the Cypriot First Division with APOEL. In terms of natural talents, you could make the case for Chris Forrester and one or two others, but if you were to ask players to name the most gifted footballer in the League of Ireland, the majority would still opt for Byrne.
With his creativity and footballing intelligence, the former Oldham and Wigan player is one of the few individual players in Irish football capable of controlling and dictating the tempo of games.
