    Watched him a couple of times for Ireland and for Hibs. Very very fast out and out winger. Sometimes tries to do too much on his own when he should release the ball. Lots of pace and skill with an excellent left foot but can use his right too. Basically the lad just loves to run at people but probably relies on his speed too much. Very much a confidence player too. Dont expect him to track back neither. Not good defensively. He is probably a good weapon to have on the bench.
    A year or two ago he looked like the next best thing for Eire but with Duff, McGeady and now Hunt ahead of him it was always going to be tough to break through. Think his career was stalling at Newcastle. He broke his leg a few years ago. Also he couldnt get in the team and the club wouldnt loan him out. A couple of unlucky injuries (possibly due to being kicked a lot)
    Hes not had a regular run in the Hibs side so its a bit harsh to say he cant cut it up there.

    My guess is he'll end up at a good League One side.
