Jack Byrne staying away from transfer talk as he prepares for new season

Though a player of his quality will inevitably find himself repeatedly linked with a move back to England, Shamrock Rovers playmaker and Irish international Jack Byrne appears happy to be settling in for the long haul with the Hoops this season.

“It’s nice to go into a pre-season with a clear head and a fresh start where you can set goals and targets” he says. “Before, I might have been thinking I might not be here by the end of the window so that’s been good.”
