Sligo to cash in on Coleman

SLIGO ROVERS stand to profit to the amount of £160,000 in total from Seamus Coleman’s continuing progress at Everton, manager Paul Cook revealed yesterday.

Coleman’s move to Goodison Park - two years ago this month - was notable for the meagre £60,000 Sligo received for the initial transfer. But four additional clauses in the deal will ensure the Bit o’ Red will get a reasonable fee in the end for the Killbybegs flyer.

Another £25,000 installment should arrive soon if, as expected, the 22-year-old makes his international debut for the Republic of Ireland against Wales at the Aviva Stadium on Tuesday week.
