M.J. Tierney
Position: M L
Formerly a star intercounty footballer with Laois, MJ joined Seaford in late 2016 and immediately impressed with his ballskills, work-rate and ferocious left footed strike.
He marked his debut for the club with a stunning last-minute free kick to decide a Leinster Junior Shield clash against Frankfort, earning him a call-up to the first team a month later, only for injury to rule him until the early weeks of 2017, when he returned to deliver a number of further impressive displays for the seconds. MJ continued to showcase his exceptional set-piece ability with two more free kicks late in the season, first against Cloghertown United before finishing the seconds' season with a spectacular 94th minute winner against Kill Celtic. He established himself with the first team in the 2017/18 season, netting four more stunning free-kicks as well as a series of other impressive goals and assists. A darling of the home crowd at Rockfield Park it was only late in the 2018/19 campaign that MJ finally managed to score a goal away from home, netting a penalty in the Premiers' draw at Balbriggan. The 2021/22 campaign saw MJ bag another five free kicks, and two more direct from corners, as he enjoyed his best season yet in terms of both goals and assists. |
