Caoimhin Kelleher's Brentford move will land Cork club a seven-figure payday
Caoimhin Kelleher is set to swap Liverpool for Premier League rivals Brentford, with the two clubs agreeing a deal worth up to €21.4m. The initial fee will see the Anfield side net €15m, with the remainder coming their way in performance-related clauses. It represents good value for the Premier League champions, who paid just over €30,000 to sign Kelleher from Cork side Ringmahon Rangers 10 years ago. But it also means the Mahon-based club will land a huge seven-figure payday, thanks to a 20 percent sell-on clause negotiated at the time of his move in the summer of 2015. Rangers previously earned €50,000 when Kelleher was capped competitively for Ireland at senior level. This move will bring €3m into the club's coffers. Kelleher has a year left on his Liverpool contract, but the signing of Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia has signalled the end of his time at Anfield. He made 10 Premier League appearances this season and played 10 more times in European and domestic cup competitions. His switch to west London, where he will join up with Ireland teammate Nathan Collins, comes with 31-year-old Bees keeper Mark Flekken set to join Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen. The transfer is the first of what is set to be a busy window at Gtech Community Stadium, with 20-goal winger Bryan Mbuemo expected to leave the club. The fee is less than the €25m that Liverpool had indicated to potential suitors that they would seek for Kelleher. Just last week the 26-year-old indicated his desire to seek regular first-team football 'Yeah, yeah definitely,' he said, after Liverpool's final game of the season. 'I've said it before as well, I feel like I'm good enough to be a No.1 and I feel like I'm good enough to play week in, week out and that's what I'm looking to do. 'This season I was lucky enough to play a lot of games but it's definitely something I'm looking at. 'The season I've had, I've played a lot of games and had that taste this season of being a number one. 'Whether that's at Liverpool or elsewhere, that remains to be seen. My main focus at the moment is to be number one. 'Obviously I love playing for Ireland. A big ambition of mine is to be the number one here – obviously that only comes hand in hand when I'm number one at the club as well. 'That plays a major part as well, in terms of helping my case to be Ireland number one.'

‘Simply not worth the risk' alert over ‘dangerous' rugby-style tackle challenge as teen dies trying latest viral trend
VIRAL challenges are popular on social media – but it's not always a simple or funny one that grips the internet. Some of the most popular include the ALS ice bucket challenge, Harlem Shake and Planking. 2 And the trend has even been endorsed by some top rugby players Credit: Getty 2 Ryan Satterthwaite from New Zealand died after taking part in the game Credit: Instagram These trends and others like them range from the harmless to downright dangerous. Some have even resulted in death. This week, a 19-year-old lad died in It has been gaining traction across New Zealand and The trend has even been endorsed by some top rugby players. Read more in News Here, Emma Kilcawley Hemani takes a look at what the dangers are. WHAT IS THE RUN-IT-STRAIGHT CHALLENGE THIS latest craze sees participants sprinting into each other without protective head gear. It is based loosely on the contact elements of rugby union, rugby league or the NFL and involves two competitors — a runner and tackler — speeding at each other and colliding. Players are not allowed to trick or dodge. Most read in Irish News The game has grown in popularity through the Australian RUNIT Championship League, which offers cash prizes. Organisers promote the event as 'the world's fiercest new collision sport'. The organised events gained traction after ex-professional rugby players took part, including former Leicester, Montpellier and Fiji winger Nemani Nadolo, inset. Bussin With The Boys, a popular podcast co-hosted by former NFL players Will Compton and Taylor Lewan, even described it as the 'the next great sport'. Two trial events in Auckland saw eight men compete for $12,000 in front of more than 1,000 spectators. Winners were expected to go into a championship event next month with prize money of up to $150,000. Two other events in Auckland were cancelled when organisers were unable to obtain permits. TEEN TRAGEDY A 19-year-old from New Zealand died after taking part in the game. Police said Ryan Satterthwaite suffered a serious head injury when tackled while playing with friends. Manawatu police area commander, Inspector Ross Grantham, said: 'The tackle game played by the group of friends was based on a WHAT DO THE EXPERTS SAY? Head trauma and brain injuries are just two of the risks associated with the challenge. Last week, one of these planned events was paused in Auckland after a participant started convulsing. Colin Morris, director of communications at Brain injury charity Headway, said: 'Trends like this are dangerous because they encourage copycat behaviour, often among young people who may not fully understand the serious risks involved. 'Participants will often have no medical supervision or support on hand if something goes wrong. One blow to the head can result in death or lead to permanent damage, affecting memory, mood, mobility, and even personality. 'It's simply not worth the risk. 'We urge individuals not to take part in or promote this reckless trend. No viral moment is worth risking your health, your future or your life. Viral trends come and go, but the effects of brain injury can be life long and permanent.' OTHER DANGEROUS TRENDS Run-It-Straight is by no means the first social media-fuelled trend to draw safety warnings after a tragedy. Medical experts have been forced to warn the public about the risks of everything from inhaling solvents to abusing over-the-counter medications and even snorting condoms. Another new 'game' is 'chroming'. The dangerous practice is a means of getting high via inhaling hydrocarbons by misusing a variety of legal products,. The term comes from the effect of inhaling metallic paints sprayed on a rag, which leaves a chrome residue on someone's face. In 2014, 19-year-old Jonny Byrne, from Co The drinking game encourages participants to film themselves 'necking' booze while performing a stunt, before nominating a friend to do the same. Jonny had jumped in the river after downing a pint of alcohol. The teen's father, Joe Byrne, told 'It's cost my son his life. The whole family is devastated and our lives will never be the same again. I hope this message is heeded, because for us, life is virtually over.'
