Controversial sports agent Ricky Nixon has revealed that another four players could join Niall McKeever in Australia later this year. Rising Antrim football star McKeever signed for the Brisbane Lions this week after attending a trial at the Coolmine Training Complex in Dublin last April, and Nixon is confident of luring another four Irish players 'Down Under' on the back of that trial. "I expect between three and five players to be invited to Australia before the end of the year. Niall is the first of those five," he said. Nixon explained that that some of the clubs whose scouts attended the trial are interested in signing the same player. "When this happens, they share the cost of bringing the player out, then it is up to the player to decided which club he will join," he added. Geelong, Brisbane Lions, North Melbourne, Richmond and St. Kilda all sent representatives to the Dublin trial. Tweet
