What a season it has been for the Youghal native Jake O’Brien, the 23 year old moved to the south of France on a short trial and hasn’t looked back. The central defender is from the lovely seaside town of Youghal and is definitely one to watch as he keeps getting better and better.
“Jake O’Brien. He did a two week trial, to see if he was good enough and now he’s a star.”
