Several top Football League clubs chase former Cliftonville goalscoring ace
The talented forward has scored 15 goals for Scottish Premiership side Ross County this term, after his memorable Irish Cup Final double for the Reds against Linfield last May earned him a cross-channel move. The 26 year-old netted a crucial late penalty in Wednesday night's draw with fellow strugglers Dundee, as the Staggies battle to save their top-flight status. Luton Town, Reading and Wigan Athletic are all keen to snap of the striker who was called into the Northern Ireland squad for the first team in March. Bolton Wanderers, Derby County, Peterborough, Portsmouth and Wrexham are also monitoring the situation, with Ross County expected to cash in on their top goalscorer this summer. Hale has taken the scenic route to the top of the game. The highly-rated teenager earned a long-term contract with Birmingham City, but returned to Ireland to play for Derry City, Crusaders, St Patrick's Athletic and Larne, before becoming a club legend at Solitude. At international level the Belfast man represented the Republic of Ireland at both Under 19 and Under 21 before switching back to Northern Ireland earlier this year.

Cliftonville boss Jim Magilton believes his players have done a 'wonderful job' this season in honouring the memory of their late team-mate Michael Newberry, whose sudden death in December devastated everyone at the club. In what was a heartbreaking and dramatic campaign, the Reds, who ended up seventh in the Premiership standings, finished it on a high by qualifying for Europe on Sunday with a 2-0 Play-Off Final victory at Coleraine which came just over a week on from losing the Irish Cup Final on penalties to Dungannon Swifts.
