Is he the first Irish player in the Swiss Super League since Don Givens?
Connor Ronan did play in the first division with grasshoppers

Good move, has a great chance of playing regularly which he badly needs since he's 21 and has very few games under hits belt. Would rather Hefferman and Zeffi made a move similar to this than joining Newcastle and spending a few years playing youth football.

They are currently top of the Swiss Super League so I'm sure he won't walk into team but if he gets playing it could be an excellent move, certainly better than Serie C where he was linked

Got his first minutes in Switzerland today, in the cup, scored the third in a 0-3 win & played the 90. Think it was against a lower division club.

FC Tuggen, they play in the fourth tier.

Seems like the equivalent of a meaningless league cup game in England when many of the reserves get a run out. I reviewed their forum using Google translate. Looks like he was fairly anonymous, apart from goal. FC Zurich are top of the league, would be a welcome surprise if okoflex established himself there. But he has done nothing to convince us that he will thus far in his career

Goals are on YouTube. Okoflex's finish is at 2:20
Hard to tell what actually happens, the camera hasn't quite caught up with the play when he scores

If there was any off-colour serendipity to be had at all, surely FC Tuggen would play in the Wankdorf Stadium.

He has been getting bits & scraps at the very end of games in the league since his Cup goal the other week, but he got subbed on with fifteen to play today and got his first league goal within ten minutes. Zurich won, scored four & are top of the Swiss league.

Thank for posting. Oko flex looks like the kinda guy (like so many of them) that England just doesn't suit any longer. The top two leagues are so cash rich that playing there is too competitive. Malcolm Gladwells book, David and goliath has all the mechanics of this down. Better to go to Europe and succeed in smaller ponds to rise.

They may find their way back to England but life goes on. Never seen so many young Irish fellas on the continent. Very exciting.

I think Matthew Healy is another example. Did well at Cork City but probably would have struggled if he moved to League Two or One because of his style particularly. Nice passing midfielder but not the most physical and might need more time to develop that. Moved to Belgian second division and looked good for Ireland in recent round of 21s games. Jake O'Brien proved a good season at that level can be a springboard.

Got 20 minutes off the bench yesterday away at the team in second place with top spot on the line. Finished 0-0.
