Cathal Heffernan donned his school uniform for the last time yesterday as he prepared to say goodbye to Ireland and hello to a new life in Italy.
Over the past couple of days it has been rumoured that Heffernan will be joining the Rossoneri, and now his contract has officially been deposited as the league’s website shows. There is plenty of fascinating background to his arrival such as his previous trials with Manchester United and Bayer Leverkusen, the role of Stephen Ireland and the fact his parents are Olympians.
The video from Irish channel RTE perfectly encapsulates how much of a dream switch this is for the 16-year-old defender though, not just for him but for his proud parents too.
