Darren Burke was sent out on loan to Monaghan a few months ago. I think he's currently injured.

I've actually no idea. A quick look at the Monaghan website says he hasn't played since they were knocked out of the cup.

Yeah, don't think that Burke lad came to much after. From what I remember of him at Bohs, he was fond of the high-life. If he recovers from his hamstring injury he might make a comeback next season.

Heard great things about him alright. Fond of the bottle though from what I hear. He's known as their own Paul McGrath down Dalier way!

He's actually contemplating his footballing future as he's out for the season. Should have gotten his chance at Bohs and it'll be a shame if he quits the game.

Had a fondness for Cats too.
