Time for this guy to have his own thread. Second league start today for Lincoln City at 17 years of age, having been rested midweek in league cup. Promising stuff

Another good outing by the sounds of it, at left back. Subbed after 66 minutes. The Imps make it two wins from two, great start. Lincoln play Liverpool this week, plenty of Irish on show hopefully
Hopefully get a first look at this lad tonight if he gets the start, the Lincoln v Liverpool game is live on Sky. Hopefully Scully will also be involved and maybe an outside chance of Elbouzedi or Kelleher also.
Returns to the Lincoln bench today for the first time this season I believe?!
Disappeared completely after summer trials at Southampton and Chelsea. Did have an injury but didn’t seem to be that long term. Information scant. Anyone with insight? Did well with our 19s last week
Gone to Drogheda on loan for season.

Not a bad move for him at this point. Don't understand what he was doing going on trials at Chelsea and Southampton. Concentrating at breaking through at Lincoln should have been the focus.
I'd say Lincoln themselves were happy with it and probably encouraged it a bit for the chance of making a profit off someone that probably cost them peanuts.Originally Posted by Exgrad
Drogheda could be a good move for him as he links back up with Daire Doyle who coached him when he was younger.
Maybe Lincoln were happy with it, but who was advising Roughan? Breaking through at League 1 and then a couple of failed trials at premier league clubs for some reason. Anyway, best of luck to him this season it does sound like a good move.
Lincoln don’t have an u23 side, so the theory was that he had moved beyond u18s and if they weren’t gonna give him game time in L1 then he would stagnate (which is pretty much what has happened)
Great point, didn’t think about it this way. Hopefully he can get regular game time with Drogheda and get his career back on track.
With all the promising youngsters in the LOI, it is the most excited I’ve been about a LOI season starting ever. Keep tying the most promising youngsters on a medium to long term professional contract with reasonable release fees embedded. Provides the youngster with a solid financial platform for a few years and can complete education so can fall back on something if he doesn’t make it. The clubs can finally have a solid bargaining chip for interested clubs who now span all across Europe and are not afraid to pay much better fees than UK based clubs. It only takes one sizeable fee to secure that clubs future and justify the multiple longer term professional contracts. And can offer the loan option for a season of further development through leaving cert, just like James and Udinese, so the club can benefit from the players talent. Quite frankly, if LOI do it right, Brexit could be the best thing that ever happened the LOI. Time to decrease our dependence on UK.
I’m looking forward to the start of LOI next month

It will be interesting to see how Sean does next season with Lincoln after getting some solid LOI football under his belt. If he does well, it would certainly encourage more youngsters to temporarily return to the LOI and get important senior experience under their belt. The different timing of the schedule give them a fantastic run in through July/august if things aren’t happening for them come the January transfer window. It seems like an underutilized pathway, I know Hodge and a few others had tried it with varying results. Good for our youngsters and good for the LOI.
Lincoln have recalled Roughan from his loan along with the other lad Drogheda had too. Hopefully he can impress Mark Kennedy whose the new manager and get back into the first team.
I think he's been doing okay at Drogheda hasn't he? So it's with a view to involving him there as opposed to recalling him to get actual games elsewhere...
Yeah he was starting at Drogheda. New manager probably wants to see how they get on in pre season. Roughan could have a chance of being involved with the first team or might end up getting another loan within the UK.
Back in favour at Lincoln starting on left side with one assist from a great cross. Hopefully he will continue to start, fans impressed
Be great if mark Kennedy could be successful there especially with the 4 irish lads involved. Kennedy turned into quite the left wing back at the latter end of his career
Signs a new contract until 2025
A little surprised to see him re-sign with Lincoln. Though wouldn't be surprised if we saw him playing more at CB now he's staying. Was talking about recently how he wanted to play more at CB and that last season understood Lincoln had a settled back three so was hard to get minutes there.
Possibly if his agent was shopping the lad around to clubs but they were looking at him for LB or LWB so decided to remain at Lincoln to play CB.
Opened the scoring at Notts County. Made-in-Ireland goal from a corner taken by Danny Mandriou and flicked on by Paudie O'Connor: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66368442
Sean Roughan scores for Lincoln, at home to Charlton.
Roughan with the third for Lincoln. Another one getting valuable experience in league one with over 50 appearances now. Good to see him back in the team at left-wing back after being dropped to the bench for the last couple. Surprised that Kennedy was sacked. Sounds like his football was too cautious for the fans liking.
