Jake Mulraney is St Patrick’s Athletic’s exciting new signing and Chris Forrester insists he can help deliver success.
David Sneyd CHRIS FORRESTER AND Jake Mulraney are sitting at a table together talking about the League of Ireland season about to get underway when one St Patrick’s Athletic supporter approaches.“I’ll try. God Bless. Thank you,” he replies.
But before the 26-year-old could properly shed some light into the reasons for leaving Orlando City in the MLS – and a very public annual salary of almost $350,000 – more fans wanted to provide some words of encouragement on the eve of the sold-out visit of Derry City.“Ah, old enough enough,” he says.
“That pushes everyone on, it makes me want to be a better player. When you’re at a club so long, you can be cruising, then you see boys like these come in and it pushes everybody on.” “When I first came home I was thinking to myself that I’m after giving up a big opportunity to stay in America on really, really good money. But I was thinking to myself ‘I don’t care’. I hated it that much. Me and my family are a lot happier here,” the Dubliner, who is from just down the road in Drimnagh and also had a spell with Atlanta United in the MLS, explains.
“I got messages from people showing me my wages from the MLS. I don’t really give a bollocks. I don’t really care about that. People sending me the wages and saying ‘now you’re on peanuts’. It is what it is. It’s only money.”
