Cairbre Ó Cairealláin has stood on both sides of the fence. He’s been immersed within a professional set-up and he’s watched lads throw off their pinstripe ties after the daily 9-5 grind on their way to the squat rack.

He’s worked at Arsenal football club; first with the youth academy, then the women’s team.
