It's turning into a good week for Eamon Fennell - on and off the field.

The Dublin midfielder's long-running transfer saga finally came to an end on Tuesday night when the County Board, ignoring a recommendation from the management committee, finally sanctioned Fennell's transfer from O'Toole's to St Vincent's.

And then came the news that the 26-year-old's television appearance on TV3's Take Me Out programme last Friday has resulted in a modelling contract with John Compton, a top Dublin agency.

Fennell told the Evening Herald, "I'm not familiar with the industry but I know a few people involved in modelling and they all recommended John's agency. He's a lovely fella and I trust his judgment, so we'll just see how things go."

Fennell is currently sidelined by a hip injury which has ruled him out of the start of Dublin's Allianz National League campaign. Tweet
