Irish Premier League contingent concentrated at 7 clubs
With the dust barely settled on the 2026 FIFA World Cup, it's time to look ahead to the upcoming Premier League season, and in particular the Irish talent that will be on show.
The Irish Premier League contingent for the upcoming season is heavily concentrated among just seven clubs. Brentford stands out as the club with the most Irish players on its roster, with the likes of Caoimhín Kelleher and Nathan Collins among the stars set to play. Eiran Cashin, a player eligible for Ireland due to his grandmother's background, has been on the move, representing the club at various levels before settling at Brighton & Hove Albion.
Evan Ferguson, another talented young Irish player, has faced challenges with injuries and form but recently underwent successful surgery. Jake O'Brien has become a key player for Everton, while John Egan, who recently joined Hull City, is expected to be a regular due to his impressive performance last season. Dara O Shea and Jack Taylor are other notable Irish players who will contribute to Ipswich Town's efforts in the Premier League.
