Seems to be playing very well at the moment. So too does Danny McNamara and Gardner-Hickman is on a run at WBA I think, albeit in midfield. Next generation of right backs seems to be coming into view.

Well done to him. I'd never seen him play in midfield until he played there a few years ago in the under 19s euro champs. Given most of his youth football before under 23s was centre half at utd you might think right side of a back three might be his perfect position

Good move for O'Connor. Has been impressing this season and was decent last season for Tranmere.

**Olé Olé** · 25/01/2022, 12:12 PM

Yeah, good move. Now that he is Tranmere's asset both parties have more certainty and now they can figure out what his best position is in the medium and long term.

Manager describes him as midfielder/right back so assume they see him as a midfielder first and someone that can fill in at RB when needed. He's made that midfield position his own this season and will be interesting to see where Crawford feels he fits in best with the U21s.

Signs a one year extension to his contract with Tranmere

Possibly the most disappointing of the "Kenny's Kids" generation (born 98-02) in terms of where he landed in senior football relative to how he was rated at underage level. Maybe a toss up between him and Masterson.

His debut in a friendly v new Zealand ( i think) I though he was excellent , so its shame for sure, if this is his level

he was never a stand out with that u21 irish side IMO. he'll make a career out of it in the lower leagues but miles off required level. another one who took the wrong decision when leaving a "big" club. irish lads desperately need better advice from agents.

**tetsujin1979** · 02/05/2024, 10:56 AM

He was the captain of the U21s?

The general advice seems to be "don't join Celtic". It's madness to join a team that doesn't have a proper underage team past 18s. You're either immediately ready for the first team or cast aside to the B team playing in the 5th tier of Scottish football.

Bosun Lawal could be right back there alongside Rocco Vata after this season too. They're the absolute dregs in terms of developing lads once they hit 18.
