From Belgium to Dublin: Matt Healy has all it takes to shine for Ireland, says Stephen Bradley
Rovers boss believes Healy has all the attributes to make the step up to international football
Shamrock Rovers manager Stephen Bradley has tipped former Under-21 international Matt Healy to become a future star for Ireland.
Healy, 23, made the move to Rovers in January after Belgian side Francs Borains sold him for €70,000. The midfielder had featured 43 times for the second-tier Belgian outfit before returning home to link up with the Hoops.
