Midfielder Jack Baxter has revealed how a conversation with Ireland international Seani Maguire made his mind up about making a move to League of Ireland with Cork City.

Lancashire man Baxter, 20, agreed a loan move to Leeside from English Championship side Preston North End in February. Preston is a hotbed for Irish talent in the English game — the club's owner Trevor Hemmings remains interested in purchasing Cork City — and Maguire, along with fellow Ireland international and North End captain Alan Browne, were brought to England from the club.
