Cliftonville boss believes clubs and international team will benefit from player development
Jim Magilton has hailed the quality of the young talent coming through the Irish League highlighting the progress of Linfield's Braiden Graham in particular.
The 16-year-old has already shown his quality with the Blues scoring a crucial goal against Larne in their march to BetMcLean Cup glory earlier this season. David Healy also handed Graham his first start in last Monday night's title decider against the Invermen and Cliftonville boss Magilton was impressed with what he saw.
“I thought Braiden was out of this world, he showed great maturity against Larne," said Magilton. “His technical ability allied with tactical awareness of the game as well as his physical strength stood out. I can’t praise Braiden enough. “Ryan Corrigan is another one we have high hopes for. We threw him on while 0-0 at Carrick. These lads play with no fear.
