Mcdaid

Former Doncaster Rovers defender Sean McDaid has a new job - as a football agent. The news was revealed at the weekend by the News & Star newspaper, with McDaid also revealing that he is taking his coaching badges as he explores how to keep involved in the game that he was forced to retire from last season at the age of just 25 due to injury.
Sean told the News & Star: “Nothing is going to replace playing but I’ve been offered another route to stay in football and I’m enjoying it so far. I’m still planning to do my coaching badges but this opportunity has come up to look after some players I’ve played with, and some younger ones coming up. In football you are quickly forgotten. You have to get into the real world. I might be able to bring a different perspective to the agent side of things having been a player so recently.”
He has been somewhat surprised by the decision of Rovers and Carlisle to arrange a benefit match for him as part of their pre-season games. He added: “I didn’t expect anything like that. The two clubs have been brilliant for me and the game will be a massive help for me and my family after such an uncertain time. I will do anything I can to help either club in the future. If Greg Abbott was looking for a certain type of player, I could do a bit of scouting for him.”
