Report: New York Red Bulls giving Gaelic football star a crack at soccer

A report from Brendan Crossan for the Irish News advises that the New York Red Bulls have 27-year-old Irishman Jamie Clarke on trial.

Clarke is a star player in Ireland - but not in the sport RBNY plays. He's known for his ability in Gaelic football. But he moved away from Ireland and the top-level of the game he knows best to be in New York this year.

Clarke was reportedly offered contracts with soccer teams before he moved over to the USA, but stuck with his decision to cross the Atlantic.
