Clare native named as one of League of Ireland's top rising talents
A CLARE native has been named in RTÉ's 'League of Ireland's rising talent: 20 under 20 for 2023.'
Treaty United player Fionn Doherty, who hails from Kilkee, in West Clare, was named as one of the promising League of Ireland talents tipped for future greatness.
The 18-year-old midfielder, who is also a graduate of Kilkee Community College in the Clare coastal town was named as number 18, out of total of 20.
Fionn was listed under the First Division section, where he has been plying his trade in Limerick.
Last May, Doherty became Treaty's youngest ever player to appear in a senior game when he featured against Waterford.
He played his part in Treaty's great run to the FAI Cup semi-final and First Division play-offs, following in the footsteps of Josh Quinlivan as he progressed from the club's U-19s.
Last year James Abankwah (then at St Pat's, now at Udinese), Cathal Heffernan (then at Cork City, now at AC Milan ) and Alex Murphy (then at Galway United, now at Newcastle United) were three of the bright prospects who made the list.
The new League of Ireland season is due to start on February 17, 2023.
