Kinsella to join Irish contingent at Everton

By John Fallon

Tuesday, January 21, 2014

Roberto Martinez has enlarged his Irish colony at Goodison Park after convincing 15-year-old Steven Kinsella to choose Everton over Manchester United.

The gifted winger – already playing for Ireland’s U17s – received a visit in Dublin from the Spaniard last October as the chase for his capture intensified.

His personal intervention worked, as both Manchester clubs, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur were also vying for the teen’s signature.

Martinez has built his thriving Toffees side on an Irish backbone, last week adding Aiden McGeady to the existing trio of Seamus Coleman, James McCarthy and Darron Gibson.

He believes, too, that the future can remain green as Kinsella becomes the third teen to move cross-channel in the past 18 months.

Unlike most of the talented Irish gems that join the major British clubs, Kinsella doesn’t hail from a traditional superpower of schoolboy football. Instead, he developed at his own pace from the age of eight at Templeogue United under the guidance of his father, former Bohemians stalwart Alan.

Yesterday, Everton’s Irish scout Paul Hamilton welcomed the deal: "We’ve been working for two years to get Steven over the line, so everybody at the club is naturally delighted," he said.

ROBERTO MARTINEZ has expanded his Irish brigade at Everton by persuading 15-year-old Dubliner Steven Kinsella to join the Toffees, WRITES JOHN FALLON.

Both Manchester clubs and Tottenham Hotspur also wanted to recruit the son of former League of Ireland player Alan Kinsella, but Everton won the race for his signature after Martinez flew into Dublin to meet the teenager's family.

Kinsella, who plays for Templeogue United, is a winger possessing ability and pace in abundance. Such has been his impact in underage circles, he was promoted to Ireland's U-17 squad for the UEFA qualifiers last October.

Manchester United were especially keen to recruit a player they rate of similar quality to Robbie Brady, whom they signed in 2005.

He only turned 15 last August, so that is pretty impressive that he got promoted to the u17 just two months after turning 15.

Don't know if he is related to Gerard but it's an old Irish surname common on the east coast mainly around Co. Dublin and Co. Wexford.
