Shelbourne FC manager Damien Duff has joked that he was not entirely surprised when his goalkeeper decided to trade in the dressing room for the Love Island villa.
Scott van der Sluis has become the latest entrant into the ITV reality show, with the goalkeeper appearing for the first time on Thursday night. The 22-year-old goalkeeper opted to call time on his day job with Shelbourne, a League of Ireland Premier Division side based near Dublin.
In doing so he has followed in the footsteps of Jamie Allen, who left Halifax Town for Love Island, and Tom Clare, who decided to leave Macclesfield after starring on the ITV show. Thankfully former Chelsea winger Duff took Van der Sluis’ decision in good grace.
