"The 25-year-old is determined to wear green again and make a success of his time at League One Blackpool"
"It should be a natural, understandable part of the ageing process; that there would be bumps in the road for a footballer who, in his teens, played in the Premier League and experienced international football. But it's still hard to wrap your head around the fact that Michael Obafemi, the much-travelled and much-debated Dubliner, is still only 25 - a Premier League goalscorer at 17 for Southampton and one of a handful of still-active Irish players capped by Martin O'Neill."
Michael Obafemi is 25 years old and determined to wear the Republic of Ireland green again while making a success of his time at League One Blackpool. His career has included Premier League appearances and international caps, and he scored a Premier League goal at 17 for Southampton. Fluctuations and injuries are natural across a footballer's progression, and his path has included bumps despite early breakthroughs. He remains one of a small group of still-active Irish players capped by Martin O'Neill. Obafemi is portrayed as much-travelled and much-debated, yet still young with potential to revive his trajectory.
