New York-born Kerryman marks All-Ireland winning week by making Cambridge switch
Shane McLoughlin has swapped League Two sides - by leaving Newport County for Cambridge United. The Kerryman, who was born in New York and spent the first five years of his life in the Bronx before his family moved home to Castleisland, has signed a one-year deal with the side that suffered relegation from League One last season. McLoughlin earned the move after a successful trial period with the Cledara Abbey Stadium side. The 28-year-old midfielder, who grew up playing Gaelic football and soccer in the Kingdom, was busy finalising his switch as his home county claimed All-Ireland glory over Donegal at the weekend. A former Ipswich Town prospect, he made two first-team appearances for the Tractor Boys before moving to Wimbledon in January 2019. After playing more than 80 times for the Dons, he joined Morecambe, and then Salford City, and in the summer of 2023 he signed for Newport County. While at Newport, he featured in their FA Cup clash against Manchester United, which ended in a nervy 4-2 win for the Red Devils. Ahead of that game, McLoughlin spoke to MirrorSport about the rise of soccer in the Gaelic football stronghold of Kerry, and how the arrival of senior League of Ireland football there would lead to more players emerging from the Kingdom. 'I feel now the pathways are different with the League of Ireland coming to Kerry,' he said in January of last year. 'As you see with Gaelic football, the athletes are there, the natural talent is there, it's probably just that Gaelic football was grabbing the players at a younger age. 'But that pathway is there now and hopefully you will start to see more players coming through and coming across, and even getting into the League of Ireland.' As for his latest move, McLoughlin added. 'I have been in the last week and have gotten an idea of what the club is about, what the manager wants this season and what the lads are striving for. 'It's a big club for this division and I am raring to get back into it now. I can't wait for Saturday and the season ahead.' Cambridge boss Neil Harris was thrilled with his new signing. Harris said: 'He is a versatile midfielder who will add strength to the department, with an ability to cover other positions, too. I am looking forward to working with him further over the coming season.' Get the latest sports headlines straight to your inbox by signing up for free email .

Brian Flanagan admits Kildare feared another Croke Park collapse before late surge sinks Fermanagh
Brian Flanagan says even he was starting to wonder if the Croke Park curse was a real thing for Kildare. 2 Kildare saw off Fermanagh in the Tailteann Cup semi-finals 2 Kildare manager Brian Flanagan he was starting to wonder if the Croke Park curse was a real thing for his side Sub Brian McLoughlin changed the game when he came on early in the second-half, blasting five crucial points. And James McGrath set the seal on a slightly flattering seven-point win with his third goal in a row late on. The scores were tied at 0-8 apiece after 55 minutes and no Kildare fan in the 13,960 crowd was taking anything for granted at that stage. The Leinster semi-finalists had lost their previous five games at Croke Park - and have a poor record generally there over the last 15 years. READ MORE ON GAA They created 32 scoring chances overall but wasted four goal opportunities and drilled 14 wides - leaving Flanagan wondering if another Croker choker was occurring. He said: "I said after the quarter-final win that every team has their challenges and, look, there was a bit made out of our recent history in Croke Park. "The reality is you don't talk about those things when you're developing a new group because in many ways it's irrelevant to us. "But as that game went on, 15 or 20 minutes in, you were thinking, 'Maybe there is something in this, I don't know'. Most read in Golf "So winning became even more important than at that point, so you could throw the shackles off in the future when we come back here." Kildare will be favourites for next month's final and will receive a golden ticket to the 2026 All-Ireland SFC if they can win again at Croker. 'Just in time for Father's Day' - Dublin GAA legends welcome the birth of precious baby daughter Flanagan will have a selection headache because McLoughlin, who struck 1-2 at Croke Park in the 2018 All-Ireland U-20 final win, will feel he has done enough to start. McLoughlin was named Man of the Match despite being on the pitch less than 30 minutes. Attacker Neil Flynn is back in the squad too while versatile half-forward Callum Bolton should be fit again and Jimmy Hyland could yet make it too after calf/Achilles trouble. Flanagan said: "When Brian is in his stride, he's a very good striker of the ball. That's what we were bringing him in to do. "We spoke a lot during the week about our bench having an impact, not just coming in to see a game out but actually impacting the game and he certainly did that." It was a forgettable first 50 minutes or so with Kildare 0-7 to 0-6 up at half-time. Spells of torrential rain left both sets of players soaked and contributed to an error prone spectacle. That explained a lot of the wides and handling errors, while neither side really got their kicking games going. Colm Dalton, Kevin Feely, Tommy Gill and Daniel Flynn all failed to convert decent Kildare goal chances - leaving Flanagan fearing the worst. But McLoughlin was a game changer when he came on and the goal Fermanagh needed in response never arrived. Fermanagh manager Kieran Donnelly said: "Conditions were hard on the players. With us being a mobile team and a young team, it didn't help us on a day like that. We haven't played in those conditions all year." Kildare 1-13 Fermanagh 0-9 Kildare: C Burke; H O'Neill, M Dempsey, K Flynn; B Byrne, D Hyland, J McGrath 1-0; K Feely 0-2, tp, B Gibbons; T Gill, A Beirne 0-1, C Dalton 0-2; R Sinkey, D Kirwan 0-1, D Flynn 0-2. Subs: B McLoughlin 0-5, 1tp for Sinkey 44, J McKevitt for K Flynn 55, N Kelly for Kirwan 63, A Masterson for Gibbons 66.
