FAI optimistic of recruiting Northern Ireland's teenage star Sean Moore

Gavin Cooney THE FAI ARE optimistic they will convince Cliftonville’s teenage sensation Sean Moore to for the Republic of Ireland rather than Northern Ireland.

The 17-year-old winger has broken into Cliftonville’s first-team this season and has scored twice across his side’s last three games, making 20 appearances in all. He has been playing left-wing in recent games, but has also played on the opposite flank along with left wing-back. His performances have reportedly earned interest from British clubs including Newcastle and Celtic.

The Belfast-born teenager first represented Northern Ireland at U18 level last year, playing alongside Stephen Kenny’s son Eoin in friendly games against Austria. The Belfast Telegraph yesterday reported that the FAI are chasing Moore, and The42 understands the FAI have made contact with the player and are confident that Moore is receptive to the idea.
