Maurice Nugent

Maurice "Mo" Nugent, a native of Clare, committed to his seventh season at Eamonn Deacy Park ahead of the 2021 campaign.

The centre-back spent three seasons with the club’s under-19 team, being named captain and progressing to first team football in 2017, where he made a total of 15 appearances, but had his season cut short by an ankle injury sustained against Longford Town.

Alan Murphy appointed him as vice-captain for the 2019 season.

Maurice has also represented Ireland at universities level, competing in the World University Games in 2017 in Taiwan, and in 2019 in Naples. He captained the side in the game against Ukraine.
