Breaking news>>Oliver Glasner is forcing palace star to resign a new contract
Paddy McCarthy has been spotted reuniting with a player Crystal Palace sold in 2023.
The interaction occurred as the 40-year-old took Republic of Ireland training at the FAI National Training Centre in Abbotstown.
So, which former Crystal Palace player did Paddy McCarthy reunite with? Let’s take a look…
Well, Crystal Palace sold Jake O’Brien to John Textor’s Lyon back in August for just £1m.
The sale came after the Irishman spent two years at Selhurst Park from 2021 to 2023 – having initially been signed from Cork City back in August 2021 after a loan spell.
O’Brien never actually made an appearance for Crystal Palace – just 28 appearances for the U21 side – although he has been superb at Lyon, earning a call up to John O’Shea’s Republic of Ireland squad ahead of a potential debut.
McCarthy was entrusted to take training at the FAI National Training Centre by O’Shea – who is currently holding the reins on an interim basis – where images showed Oliver Glasner’s assistant back alongside O’Brien, who he worked closely alongside in the Crystal Palace academy.
