More Irish players are availing of the transfer window, with Jeff Hendrick joining Reading on loan and his Newcastle United colleague Ciarán Clark also set to depart for Sheffield United.

Midfielder Hendrick had flagged during last month’s international window his intention to stay away from Tyneside again unless suddenly granted a reprieve for game-time by Eddie Howe.
