BORN: October 2003
CLUB: Brighton and Hove Albion (on loan at Stoke City)
Remember When: He scored a glorious goal for the Ireland under-21s against Turkey
Bio: Brighton baller Andrew Moran has excited Ireland fans for a couple of years now.
The technical attacking midfielder made his Ireland debut in the November 2023 international friendly against New Zealand and looks destined to rack up many more caps in the future.
He got his first real taste of men’s football while out on with Blackburn Rovers in the 2023/2024 season and for large spells he was able to reproduce the skills he displayed at Ireland underage level on the EFL Championship stage.
International Highlights:
Huge congrats to Andy Moran who has been called up to the Ireland MNT for the first time ahead of games against the Netherlands and New Zealand 🇮🇪⚽️👏

Didn't quite work out but this bit of dribbling endeavour from Andrew Moran on his Championship debut showed a lot about the technical and fearless attacking talent that he is. Main thing is that he keeps trying and – unlike so many Irish players – doesn't lose his spark. pic.twitter.com/1LhvJT0mug
