Cliftonville manager Jim Magilton believes Australian player Alex Parsons' success is a testament to the opportunities for foreign players in the Irish League. Parsons' impressive performance since joining Cliftonville in 2025 has inspired Magilton to encourage other foreign players to consider the league.
Magilton's statement suggests that Parsons' achievement sets a positive precedent for other foreign players, showing them that success in the Irish League is attainable. This could potentially attract more foreign talent to the league in the future.
