Dan Horan has spent two years undertaking a study of injuries in Irish women’s football, the findings from which will hopefully reduce the incidences and layoff for players in the future.

Horan is known as a former League of Ireland player and the Ireland squad’s fitness coach during Martin O’Neill and Roy Keane’s five-year spell but the chartered physiotherapist is now the head of football research and science for the FAI.
