IRELAND FANS WILL remember Nick Colgan from his time involved in the international set-up.

The Drogheda native, who began his career in England with Chelsea before lining out for a host of clubs in the Football League and Scotland, earned 10 caps for the Boys in Green between 2002 and 2007.

Colgan retired from playing in 2013 and took up a coaching role with the academy of Huddersfield Town — where he had most recently been on the books.

In 2014, he became the first-team goalkeeping coach and played his part as the Terriers won promotion to the Premier League for the first time last season under David Wagner.

However, the 43-year-old has been sacked from his role and he is now considering legal action against the club, according to reports from RTÉ and a number of other outlets.

It adds that he has sought assistance from the Professional Football Coaches Association about the possibility of filing for wrongful dismissal.
