I suppose with both loans, he went from a starter to a sub option rather than the other way around, and scored one goal, which is fairly paltry for a forward.

I think it's fair to suggest if he doesn't do well at Accrington over the season, he could end up back at Galway sooner rather than later.

Although he played underage for Utd and made his senior debut at 15(I think), I'm fairly sure he's a Limerick lad

Regardless, it's a bit much to suggest last chance saloon at 21 years old. Even if he did have a shocker of a season, there's nothing to suggest he couldn't drop to LOI and return to England and have a good career for himself at a decent level. He wouldn't be the first and won't be the last to go down that route.

I just find it absurd that there's a suggestion a lad is potentially finished at a good level at 21 years old after 60 senior appearances.
