Player to watch – Warren Davis
Young attacker Warren Davis is enjoying something of a breakout campaign for surprise packages Drogheda in the Premier Division and the 20-year-old has already bagged seven goals for United since the start of the 2025 campaign in Irland.
Davis in career-best form
Davis only managed to score once during the 2024 season, so his early burst to a seven-goal haul this term has been equal parts welcome and unexpected. Davis’s performances were rewarded with a first cap for Irelands’ U21s during the recent international break.
