PFAI proposes tracking system to monitor players’ progress in Britain

Though chiefly responsible for footballers’ welfare in the League of Ireland, the PFAI has called for a detailed tracking system for Irish players in Britain.

The domestic players’ union yesterday named Aidan Price as its manager for their winter training programme for out-of-contract players, which is under way.

The PFAI will bring a squad to Oslo in January to play in the FIFPro-organised tournament with hosts Norway, Finland, and Sweden to help players secure contracts for next season.
