So what do we know? * He started his career at Dublin based side Belvedere FC who he joined at 9 years old. They count amongst their former players the likes of Mark Kennedy, Wes Hoolahan and Curtis Fleming, and former Daleys Neill Byrne and John O'Sullivan. * He has represented the Republic of Ireland all the way through from U15 to U18 level * He signed for Villa back in 2015, and despite not making it to the first team, he made eight appearances this season in Premier League 2. * Back in 2015, he was named as one of the 20 best youngsters to look out for in the Premier League by the Guardian. * He had an unsuccessful trial spell at Coventry at the back end of April when it looked like he wasn't going to be kept on by Villa * The centre half has signed a two year contract at Dale keeping him here until the Summer of 2020.
