BORN: September 2000
CLUB: Middlesbrough
Remember When: He gave the happiest post-match interview ever seen after making his Ireland debut
Bio: A dazzling midfield midfielder well able to pick a pass and find the net.
The Ireland international enjoyed loans with Newport County and Plymouth while on the books of Aston Villa but eventually found a home at Middlesbrough in the January of 2024.
Shortly later he debuted for the Boys in Green under interim manager John O’Shea.

Debut man Finn Azaz didn't get a goal tonight but you can tell how meaningful making his Irish bow is to him ๐
