He doesn't say anything about anything even remotely Irish on his twitter feed, that's for sure. Why does he list his location as Upper East Side, NY?

Case closed.“We’ve heard the rumours and speculation about it but I don’t think we’ve got any Irish in us,”

This lad played for St Francis before rotherham wonder is he eligible for us? https://www.google.ie/amp/www.bbc.co...tball/42054244
This is what i found. I did a google search for him based on little more than his surname. Quite possible the Mail have put the story together based on the same, or that someone in the FAI looked into their background for the same reason.

If there is anything there though he certainly plays in a problem position for us.

Seems Chedioze Ogbene of Limerick is in the UK this week, trial at Chelsea no less. Nigerian born, Irish raised, indicated Nigeria might edge it for him but let the battle commence says I.
Anyone know why Cork City let him go? I only saw him when he came on for the 2016 FAI Cup and was impressed by him. While he did tend to get forced off the ball a little too easily (he was only 18 at the time), he was fast, whipped in a couple of good crosses and found space in the box near the end of the 90 and forced a good save from Gary Rogers.
They didn't let him go. He was out of contract and chose to take Limerick's offer instead. And while he could have won a league with Cork, he's been the central player in a Premier Division team which likely wouldn't have happened had he stayed put, so presumably he feels it was worth it.
Jaysis, fair play to him. Hope it works out for him. That'd be a big move for a player coming from the LOI. I guess Limerick have little hope of holding on to him then?
I assume Ogbene is an Irish national as he has resided in Ireland for over twelve years, but I'm pretty sure the FAI would still have to seek the granting of an exemption from a strict application of article 7(d) by FIFA's Players' Status Committee in order to have Ogbene available for Irish international selection before the age of 23.
Considering Ogbene's potential and the fact he has stated that Nigeria would be his preference, is it surprising that Nigeria haven't already been in touch with him? You'd have to assume they are aware of him.
Much like ourselves, I believe the Nigerians don't pay attention to players unless they're in a big league like England.
He wasn't guaranteed first-team football at Cork. Limerick on the other hand could offer him what he wanted, so he opted to move. He explains his decision in this article: https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football...-on-the-bench/

happy days delighted for Limerick nice bit of business. Hopefully the lads does great
Just saw Sean Raggett nabbed a goal in the EFL trophy for Lincoln. He's there on loan from Norwich (who signed him from Lincoln).
Think someone mentioned he was qualified for us. Had a quick look at his Twitter: https://twitter.com/SeanRaggett/stat...783980032?s=17

Looks like he is qualified. Will see how that pans out.
