Daryl Kavanagh bids to seize opportunity

Safe in the knowledge that there is interest from clubs back in Ireland, Daryl Kavanagh refutes any sense of déjà vu at being here in Norway at the FIFPro tournament for out-of-contract players.

Striker Kavanagh, then with the baggage of crime and addictions to surmount to try to get his football career back on track, was the player of this tournament’s inaugural staging back in 2011.

Signed on his return by St Patrick’s Athletic, Kavanagh proved his potential, making the PFAI team of the year at the end of that season.
