The career of one-time Ireland hopeful Dan Crowley is at a crossroads after the former Arsenal man was released by Birmingham City. Birmingham have initiated a mass clearout of their squad after a dismal season which saw them finish seventh from bottom in the Championship with 13 players released. But City have also called time on Crowley's spell with the club after a disappointing two-year spell there, Crowley spending most of last season on loan to League One side Hull City. The then senior team manager Mick McCarthy was disappointed to travel to the 2019 Dutch Cup final as Crowley did not start. Hull could make a move for Crowley, who played 22 times for the Tigers in their promotion-winning season, while Dubliners Burke and Redmond will assess their options, in Ireland and in the UK.
