Knockbridge man Kevin Mulholland has been appointed physio for the Irish senior international soccer team.
The 35-year-old, who works with English Premier League side Southampton as a performance and injury prevention guru, served under new boss Stephen Kenny with the Ireland U21s.
Mulholland has previously worked for Stoke City and Sheffield Wednesday, and had a short stint with the Boys in Green under Giovanni Trapattoni some years back.
