Couple this with all of the emerging underage talent we have that are yet to play first team football (eg. Idah, McAuley, Connolly, Okoflex etc.), and I'd say it looks like we have a pretty useful generation coming through at the moment.

Brian Lenihan announces his retirement from  the game on medical advice aged just 23. Best wishes to the Hull City and former Cork City Player.

time is the stuff that life is made of, don't waste it.

Very sad news about Brian Lenihan.  Thought he looked the read deal at Cork City as right back.  Without injuries he looked a future premier league player to me.

Young Irish defender forced to retire just eight months after captaining Hull City

Brian Lenihan featured in Ireland’s senior squad for Euro 2016 qualifiers against Gibraltar and Germany.

HULL CITY DEFENDER Brian Lenihan has this morning announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 23.

Lenihan joined Hull from hometown club Cork City in 2014 but his time in England has been hampered by a series of recurring knee injuries, which began during a loan stint at Blackpool.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone associated with Hull City AFC for the care and support I have received over the past four years,” Lenihan wrote on Twitter.

“From a medical point of view the staff have gone above and beyond for me and for that I will be forever grateful.

“In light of events late last year, it is with deep regret that I have had to retire from professional football. Having to retire at 23 is something I did not foresee, but such is life.

“This decision does not come lightly but due to the medical advice I have received it is an action that needs to be taken for my own well-being.”

He added: “Sometimes in life you need to give up on a lifelong dream to ensure you live a happy and more fulfilling life.”

Lenihan, a right-back who earned comparisons to Seamus Coleman during his time in the League of Ireland, made his final first-team appearance for Hull came back in August when he captained the side in a 2-0 Carabao Cup defeat to Doncaster Rovers.

The Championship club showed their faith in Lenihan last summer by extending his contract, but unfortunately for the Irish U21 international — who featured in the senior squad for Euro 2016 qualifiers against Gibraltar and Germany — a promising career has been brought to a premature end.

There's always hope it might be a Joey O'Brien-esque situation whereby he'll be able to make some form of a comeback after a few years out of the game, but the fact he's had to literally announce his retirement at just 23 probably doesn't bode well for that eventuality.
We're decent enough..

Interesting read. Remarkable what a difference the month you are born in makes to a young player's potential success.

How do Belgium do it?:

Ireland tried something similar 3 years but was to do with players whose bmi was 19 or less so would have been seen as too small by some. One the coaches mentioned, James Scott is doing great work in North Tipp but unfortunately that article was almost 3 years ago and don't think the FAI kept up the future developers team.

Its well known that you are more likely to succeed if born in the first 3 months of the year.
