The former Cork City man is enjoying his stint at RWD Molenbeek.

Jake O’Brien is hoping that his stint in Belgium can act as the same sort of springboard that launched the careers of notable Irish players before him.

The former Cork City defender made the decision to join second-tier side RWD Molenbeek from parent club Crystal Palace this season and in doing so he joins a small but select band of his countrymen to have played there.
