WATCH: Aidan Igiehon on search for Irish hoops' one-percenters who can make it in US

The Ireland international blazed a trail in America - and he wants to help the next generation make the leap. 

Ireland international Aidan Igiehon was just 13 when his skills and athleticism threw up the chance of a lifetime and a move to America. The Ireland international spent 10 years Stateside playing basketball at elite High School and college levels.

Now Igiehon is back home and, through his eponymous Aidan Igiehon Elite Academy, looking to establish stronger links and pathways that will offer more Irish kids the same chance. Brendan O’Brien went along to Gormanstown, Co. Meath recently to find out more.
