Just last month, the Castleisland native was named in the ‘Tractor Boys’ squad for their FA Cup third-round replay against Portsmouth.
McLoughlin has been capped for Ireland U18’s and is currently on a scholarship at Ipswich.
He joined the club from St Brendan’s Park in July 2013, signing a two-year scholarship with Ipswich. In April 2015, that scholarship was extended for the 2015-16 season.
The highlight for him so far while at the east of England club was helping Ipswich to win a FA Youths Cup last season.
Currently, Ipswich are lying in 10th place, seven points adrift of the play-off places, but with McCarthy’s record anything is possible for the Suffolk side.
Everyone at St.Brendans Park FC are extremely proud of Shane on what he has achieved to date. We all wish him the best in his professional career.
