Profile:
The No.1 slot at Santos has had its fair share of pretenders through the years, but the man from Ballycastle has fought of all competition and has remained a regular amassing over 300 appearances for the club..
Byrne has brought all the experience and know-how between the sticks you’d expect to find from a man who is one of the clubs founding members and most-capped player.
Byrne's solid presence, agility and reliability have been one of the season’s big plusses and his quick and inventive distribution has assisted Santos’s speedy attacking, even managing 6 goals in his career through late forrays forward. Still in his prime, he should be around for a good while yet.
