David Sneyd DARRAGH MARKEY WOULD have made it home to Lucan in County Dublin after training with Drogheda United by around 8.45 last night.Now a League of Ireland veteran in his ninth campaign, the Dubliner works in the accounts department of a construction company based in Tallaght. It’s the long-term career he envisages having earned a finance degree from Maynooth University while on a scholarship during his formative years at St Patrick’s Athletic.
By 4pm he was at a meeting point just off the N4 at Lucan to meet teammates Dave Webster, Conor Kane and Warren Davis. “It’s ideal having four of us sharing the driving now, and the petrol money,” Markey says. “The longer it goes, with more teams going full time, the harder it will be. We still train as much as full-time sides and put the work in but there are other demands on us too.”Markey has been used to that for the duration of his career, making his debut in the league with St Pat’s as a 17-year-old while also juggling his early college years.
“It’s been nearly 10 years, and that’s madness. It’s flown by. Even those days in Maynooth, it’s been constantly juggling but I’m at the point now where I’m not a young player anymore and I’m in my peak years. I feel like I’m around for ages and have had a long career but I’m ready to do more and have more responsibility.”
