Players deserve agents who are operating in Ireland to be properly registered with the FAI — anything less isn’t in your best interests. My FAI registration number: FAI-FA2505 If you’re unsure about your representation, feel free to reach out for advice. 📞

LOI players could have their contracts voided if their agents are not registered with the FAI. It is believed this long-standing rule is now being enforced more stringently to clamp down on rogue agents operating in Ireland. #Echobox=1768236668" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/s…

@McDonnellDan @fitzmaidan I think the biggest issue Dan that everyone is missing…Ian Harte is not an agent. He’s not registered with the FAI or FA on their most recent updated list. Ian is listed as a “football scout” on his employers website.

Stephen Kenny firing back at Ian Harte in this @fitzmaidan piece - few strong lines… “For him to use a betting [website]... to go and take money off people’s betting addictions, to try to get himself a profile, to try and attack me in some way, I think he is an empty vessel”

Big Contract News!…✍🏻 We are delighted to have secured long-term deals for our clients, @ConorKearns98 and @evancaffrey61 , at @shelsfc ⚽️🔴 Both players have been instrumental in the club’s rise back to the top of Irish football, and we’re excited to see them continue their journey at Tolka Park.👏🏻 Another big season ahead and we can’t wait to part of your journey again! 🏆

As part of the ongoing development of pathways for future international players, an Ireland Women’s Development Group will face the Ireland Women’s Under-19s in a training game in the FAI National Training Centre 🤩 More info here👇

Big thanks to @ManCity for the incredible hospitality at the Etihad Campus training ground and for hosting us at last night’s UEFA Champions League match against Club Brugge! Before heading off, we also had the pleasure of a stadium tour—another fantastic insight into one of the world’s top 🤝🏻⚽️
