This week on The Molloy Twins Podcast we are joined by professional footballer Jake Mulraney.
Jake grew up in Drimnagh, Dublin, as a young kid with a dream shared by so many boys and girls around the World - becoming a professional football player. His dream came true aged 15 when he signed for Nottingham Forest in the UK.
However, things didn't go to plan, and by age 17 he found himself without a club, losing hope, and wondering if it was all over for him.
His journey from that low point to today is unbelievable!
A journey that took him around the UK and Scotland, across the pond to the US playing with Atalanta United & Orlando City, back to where it all began in Dublin, where this season he became an FAI Cup champion with St. Patricks Athletic.
Jake is as genuine and humble as they come. A man who loves his work and what he does, but maintains his values of faith and family above everything else, it was an absolute pleasure to have him in the studio and share this conversation.
Enjoy, and we hope you get some value from this one!
All the best,
Adam and Lee
