2016 PSC Las Vegas Combine attendee Ryan Masch has earned a trial with League of Ireland Premier Division outfit Drogheda United.

The 22-year-old midfielder was spotted by Drogheda Head Coach Pete Mahon during PSC’s tryout event in December and impressed many coaches during the three-day combine.

And Mahon, who was also in attendance during PSC’s 2016 Fort Lauderdale Combine, spoke of his excitement after arranging a trial for the former Santa Clara University player.

“He’s a good player – I was over in the States before Christmas and I saw him play in a number of games,” said Mahon, when speaking in an interview with The Irish Sun.

“He can play on either wing but he is predominantly right-sided. We just have to see if he can adapt to the helter-skelter of our league,” he continued.

Mahon was quick to mention the success of a previous signing he had made from across the pond at his previous club.

“The last time I had an American player was Ryan Guy at St Pat’s,” said Mahon.

“If he [Masch] does half as well as him [Guy] we’ll be on to a winner,” he continued.

Masch, who has represented the United States at U17 level, arrived in Ireland earlier this month and will be keen to make an immediate impression as he looks to secure a contract before the club’s upcoming campaign.
