A fresh start today with the Irish FA / Northern Ireland Senior Team. It has always been my ambition to develop my country further which I have the opportunity to do in my role. Looking forward to the challenge ahead starting with the Euro 2024 Qualifiers this month⚽️🏆

After 6 months I have left Northern Ireland / Irish FA. Didn’t have the success I hoped for in the Euro 2024 Qualifiers despite the disappointment it was an honour to represent my country knowing the positive contribution I was making to develop analysis across the Association⚽️
