Irish teenager Michael Noonan had a debut to remember for Shamrock Rovers on Thursday. The 16-year-old forward became what his team said was the youngest-ever goalscorer in European club competition.

The 16-year-old forward became the second-youngest goalscorer in European club competition, and the youngest ever in Conference League play when he netted the winner for Rovers in a 1-0 first-leg playoff victory over Molde.

Talent and attitude. Rovers are still in the market for a centre forward as Johnny Kenny (21) returned to Celtic after scoring 20 goals on loan last year. Also, Rory Gaffney (35) is injured while Aaron Greene (also 35) was held in reserve by Rovers manager Stephen Bradley until the 82nd minute.
