Brighton and Ireland prospect on ‘easy' loan move decision as Birmingham swoop
Former Ireland Under-21 defender Eiran Cashin says it was an 'easy' decision to move to Birmingham City on a season-long loan deal. The Brighton centre-half has made the move just six months into his career with the south coast side, in order to secure regular first-team football. Cashin made just one appearance in the Premier League after his €10million January switch from Derby County, where he made 144 appearances. The 23-year-old will look to boost his prospects of a senior international breakthrough by catching Heimir Hallgrímsson's eye over the coming campaign. He said: 'You can see in the media, everything that's going on (at Birmingham), and you can see the trajectory and the way it's going. That's something that's hard not to buy into. 'I know the owners, and the investment has been really good for the club, and I know the manager and his style of play, and the players that have come into the club recently have all been really positive. 'It shows where the club is heading, so again it was an easy one to buy into.' Birmingham City returned to the Championship as winners of League One last season. And Cashin added: 'It was impressive, and that's something I want to be part of this season going forward. 'I know it will be a lot tougher this season but I'm more than willing to add my part to the group.' Cashin has plenty of Championship experience, with 39 of his appearances so far coming in English football's second tier. He was a key part of the Derby team that won promotion back to the Championship in 2023/24, playing 44 league games and winning a spot on the League One Team of the Year. While he made his Premier League debut against Aston Villa in April, he struggled to break into Fabian Hurzeler's side on a regular basis.
