Shields not playing poor mouth over job hunt

CORK defender Michael Shields, pictured, admits his search for work is ‘tough’ but regards himself as fortunate compared to the plight of others battling the economic downturn.

Shields recently featured on The Late Late Show speaking about the lack of jobs along with teammates Alan and Donncha O’Connor, and Tipperary All-Ireland winning trio Lar Corbett, Padraic Maher and Conor O’Mahony.

The St Finbarr’s player has been looking for work since graduating with a Food Science degree from UCC last year.
