Conor Mclaughlin – The most Impressive Player

Posted on February 4, 2015 in Conor Mclaughlin

Conor Mclaughlin has made over 20 league appearances for Fleetwood Town in the English League One. The 23 year old right-back of Northern Ireland has made a number of standout performances for his club; his campaign has been so impressive that he has attracted the attention and interest from clubs in the English Championship League.

The Northern Ireland player had to be at his homeland in order to receive the George Best Breakthrough Award as he was rewarded for his surprising and impeccable string of performances that the young defender has been displaying.

Mclaughlin was delighted to receive the award but he went on saying that he couldn’t celebrate as the young defender had to be back in action and training with his teammates on the following day.

He said: ’’I’ve won the award for the matches I`ve been playing for Northern Ireland recently and it was a proud moment for me and my family. I had my Mum and Dad there as well as my girlfriend, so it was nice to win it in front of them. To win and award with George Best`s name on it is special to me. The awards didn’t finish until late last night so I flew back early this morning to training for a double session.’’

Fleetwood Town is aiming to snatch a spot in the playoffs which is a very realistic objective to accomplish in this season. The manager of the club Graham Alexander wants to earn a promotion spot into the Championship League. His squad is backing him up as well.

There are good news for the team of Graham Alexander as ConorMclaughlin extended his contract with Fleetwood Town for 3 more years as the young defender decided to remain performing with the League One club for an extended period of time despite having received interest from other teams in different leagues.
