“Jamie was great for us,” Lucan United manager John Doyel said when speaking to the Gazette. “He is a young player with an old head on his shoulders. He was good around his teammates in the dressing room and well liked. He Was also a very consistent performer in the games. He is a loss for us going into next season.
