Former Chelsea star Conor Clifford relishing Limerick move

Conor Clifford is looking to reignite his football career with Limerick after completing a six-month ban for betting offences.

As the former Dundalk midfielder joins the Premier Division side, manager Tommy Barrett says he hopes the 26-year-old can “kick-start his career again” at the Markets Field.

The captain of Chelsea’s FA Youth Cup-winning team of 2010, the Dubliner’s short-lived career at Oriel Park was upended last year when Fifa hit him with a six-month ban for betting offences committed while he was playing non-league football in England.
