Northern Ireland bosses in demand as pair linked with lead roles in English game

St Mirren boss and former Northern Ireland midfielder Stephen Robinson has been linked with a move to Plymouth Argyle. Robinson led Saints to yet another top-six finish in the 2024/25 season, narrowly missing out on Europe on the final day of the campaign. Ipswich Town boss and Fermanagh man Kieran McKenna will be considered by Brentford if Thomas Frank leaves the club. Frank is a frontrunner for the Tottenham job after the Europa League winners axed Ange Postecoglou. Former Glentoran striker Andy Kirk, meanwhile, has left his role as assistant manager to Simo Valakari at St Johnstone. Sheffield United and Swansea City are considering a move for Leyton Orient and Northern Ireland midfielder Ethan Galbraith. In the Irish League, Larne have confirmed the departure of their centre-back Shaun Want. The former Hamilton defender is returning to Scotland for family reasons. Linfield and Dungannon Swifts will kick-off the 2025/26 season on Friday, July 4 after the Charity Shield date was confirmed by the NI Football League. The annual curtain-raiser, which sees the Premiership champions face the winners of the Irish Cup, will be played at Windsor Park with a 7:45pm kick-off. Tickets for the game will be priced at £10 with all profits going to Action Mental Health, NIFL's official charity partner, and can be purchased from the Linfield official website. Glentoran midfielder Josh Kelly has signed a new contract, extending his stay at the club until the end of the 2025/26 season. Glens boss Declan Devine stated: 'Josh was outstanding in pre-season ahead of last season, showing incredible attitude and determination to earn his place in the starting XI. 'His performances in the opening three games, playing at right-back, were exceptional and his injury was a huge blow, not just for him personally but for the entire squad. 'Football can be cruel, but Josh has never let his head drop. His work ethic throughout his rehabilitation has been outstanding.'
