Feedback & Comments

Blackpool Gazette - Jack Byrne a tall, athletic central defender – has progressed through the club’s academy system, and caught Jim Bentley’s eye with his consistent performances for the U18’s last season. Byrne played an integral role in the Under 18’s 2019/20 Lancashire County Cup triumph, in which he formed a solid defensive partnership alongside fellow youngster James Stanley.

Fylde use Jack as a benchmark at their Academy when talking to students about work ethic, attitude, training and commitment

During a recent game that Jack captained with Kendal v Leek, Leek radio reported that Jack Byrne “stood out” for his defensive play and determination during the game

When discussing Jack’s professional contract Conrad Prendergast, AFC Fylde’s Youth Team manager, told afcfylde.co.uk: “I am made up for Jack. He’s worked tirelessly to improve his game over the last couple of years, and his performances with us were always top notch.
