I have never heard of Aaron Doran!
Also surprised at the really low conversion rate into senior internationals in that list. If we exclude Ferguson, Parrott and Obafemi as youngsters whose careers could still go either way, then only three of six were capped, and of those, Maybury didn't have much impact really.
Doran's thread is here: https://foot.ie/threads/115848-Aaron-Doran
We highly rated at Blackburn but some nasty injuries meant he didn't push on in his career, has spent the vast majority of his career in Scotland with Inverness Caledonian Thistle, playing over 300 times for them
Goal and an assist tonight in league cup. Nice to see. Hopefully he will see more first team action consistently be it at Brighton or on loan. Moran and Furlong introduced as second half subs. Good night for the Brighton irish with a comfortable away win over Forest Green
highlights here: Assist for first goal, his goal is their 3rd goal, his goal includes a nice flick from Moran

Cap him vs Armenia dont wait Ronan too
Jesus hes only 17! Thats amazingOriginally Posted by tommy_c12000
I know its not the premier league. But even Robbie must have been 18 when he first scored for Coventry?
Keane scored on his Wolves debut at 17 (and 1 month)
Glen Crowe was 18 scoring his first Wolves goal, so an early goal is no guarantee of anything. And you don't know what strength side is put out in the League Cup (though Forest Green probably unlikely to be making 10 changes for it)
Still, definitely an interesting prospect
Cap this fellow, good enough old enough two back heeledpne pass for one on one, his goal is Ibrahimovic quality. Play the kids !!! At least at half time vs Armenia at home, a striker is not gonna change the formation. Ronan too give him some exposure
He's very physically mature for a lad of just 17. Looks well capable of first- team football already.
Would put you in mind of guys like Rooney and Whiteside at that age in that respect.
When was the last time a 17-year old Ireland player scored for a PL club by the way?
Andy Turner scored for Spurs at that age in the early nineties, I think, but there must have been others since then.

Nice one two for the first goal and was Moran who flicked it in behind for the player that assisted Ferguson.
He could be a Massive Ferguson for us.
No, Turner is the only 17 year old Irish player to score in the Premier League, next youngest is Michael Obafemi - 18 years, 169 days when he scored against Huddersfield
Turner was the youngest goalscorer in the PL until Michael Owen broke that record
Expect a loan offer from Ipswich any day now!
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!
- E Tattsyrup.
Oh Deere.
He's got a big engine, no bother to him ploughing a lone furrow up front.
Tallaght Stadium Regular
Bohs cut of any trade in Brighton get for a newer tractor later could be substantial
The challenge on him after he flicked on for the assist was a bit agricultural
Might as well pile on to the ~ ~ Ferguson Massive ! !
Evan looks like Norman Whiteside, if only he gets as good as him, the youngest ever footballer At WC is still irish
