THE after-effects of COVID-19 have slowed many people down, but for Irish teenager, Conan Noonan, they may spell the end of a career before its even got started.
The 19-year-old star of Dublin-based soccer team, Shamrock Rovers, has developed symptoms of long COVID, with the club's medics ordering him to stop training as a result of concerns about his heart.
Speaking ahead of the club's Europa League play-off second-leg against Hungarian side, Ferencvros, tonight, manager Stephen Bradley, revealed the teen footballer had experienced "irregular heartbeats" after having two bouts of COVID.
"We thought he was about to train six weeks ago and literally jogged and his heart rate and blood pressure went through the roof so we took him out again," Bradley said.
"In terms of young lads coming into the first-team, he's one who we thought would have been right there but unfortunately it's just knocked him a bit."
