Ryan Ervine Heads for Ireland

Tue, 11/03/2008 - 01:55 — admin

With my Ireland hat on, I can't really compain too much about this one - the Sunday Mail reports that Ryan Ervine, younger brother of Sean, has signed for Irish side Carrickfergus, where he's also been appointed assistant coach. According to the club,

"The club is also delighted to announce that we have secured the services of 19-year-old Zimbabwean all-rounder, Ryan Ervine, for the 2008 season. Ryan, youngest brother of Zimbabwean international star, Sean, is Irish-qualified and will be hoping to impress Irish selectors during his time with Carrickfergus in the NCU Premier League. Ryan will work alongside Colin (Birch) as the club's assistant professional/coach in the coming season."

The statement that Ryan is hoping to impress Irish selectors would also indicate he's turned his back on any possible career with Zimbabwe - although no doubt having been overlooked by Zim's selectors despite good form recently helped make that decision a little easier.
