McLeish confirms Fahey interest!

BLUES boss Alex McLeish has confirmed his interest in attacking midfielder Keith Fahey who currently applies his trade with FAI League of Ireland Premier Division side, St Patrick's.

The 25 year-old Irish man is well known for his free-kicks, corners and attacking flair from the centre of midfield. He was recently named PFAI Premier Division Player of the Year 2008 at the Association's annual award ceremony.

He began his professional career at Arsenal as a youngster before moving up to the Midlands to Aston Villa for £250,000 where his only appearance came in the Intertoto Cup against Lille before he moved back to his home country.

"We have made inquiries about him now," he said, "at this stage I do not like to say how optimistic or pessimistic I am."

The boss went on to stress: "when I have got something to say I'll let you know. He's had a good season at St Pats and he looks a decent player."
