Graham Cummins: Now is the right time for a player to make their cross-channel move

Players shouldn’t remain comfortable in the League of Ireland. Setting a realistic buyout clause, like Danny Mandroiu did, can be a path to a life-changing move

Last week, I wrote about how players should think twice about switching to another League of Ireland club during this transfer window, but if a club from the UK were to show interest then he should do all in his power to engineer a move.

Now is the right time for a player to be snapped up by a club cross channel. Those sides are in the middle of pre-season, and a player from our league should hit the ground running if they complete a deal.
