Whether Caoimhin Kelleher can inspire a generation of Premier League-standard goalkeepers from Ireland is unlikely.
Brentford won the race and their supporters are relieved to have secured an excellent replacement for the outgoing Mark Flekken.
Perhaps the only club more excited about the transfer than Brentford is situated on the other side of the Irish Sea.
Ringmahon Rangers is a small provincial club on the south side of Cork, represented almost exclusively by players from the local community.
Kelleher first came to Liverpool's attention when playing for Ringmahon, and as part of the player’s 2015 move to Merseyside, the Cork club inserted a 20 percent sell-on price on any future transfers.
That means a fee of around £2.5 million ($3.4M) will eventually end up in the club’s bank account, equating to just under €3M.
It’s a staggering figure that club secretary Sean Fitzgerald admits has overwhelmed some associated with Ringhamon.
“I don’t know what we’ll do with the rest once the helicopter pad is built,” he quipped in an interview with Liverpool.com.
Kelleher leaves Liverpool as a Premier League legend.
It’s not every day Sky Sports takes an interest in the Cork suburbs.
“It has been off the charts,” Sean said, explaining he had to charge his phone three times due to the deluge of calls and messages.
He describes Ringhamon as the equivalent of an English Sunday League side - admittedly, a well-run one which is already equipped with excellent facilities due to government grants.
Through his transfer to Brentford, the club is set to be remunerated beyond its wildest dreams
