Everton loan Steven Kinsella out to Dundalk
Tuesday 31 January 2017 23:27, UK
Everton youngster Steven Kinsella has joined Dundalk on loan until the end of the League of Ireland season.
The 18-year-old winger, a Republic of Ireland youth international, spent the second half of 2016 on loan at Saint Patrick's Athletic where he made 10 league appearances.
He joined the Blues from Templeogue United, the club which also produced former Toffees and Republic of Ireland defender Richard Dunne, in January 2014.
Everton beat both Manchester clubs and Tottenham to the signing of Kinsella after then-manager Roberto Martinez flew to Ireland to meet with the young winger's family.
Kinsella joins Dundalk after the Irish side enjoyed a tremendous 2016 in which they won the League of Ireland championship and picked up four points in the Europa League, securing a draw in AZ Alkmaar and victory over Israeli club side Maccabi Tel Aviv in Oriel Park.
