Republic of Ireland international Robbie Brady is on the hunt for a new club after being released by Championship side Preston North End.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old endured an injury-plagued season, making the first of only five league outings in February.<\/p>\n

Despite playing only twice for Preston at that stage, Brady earned his 73rd international cap in the heart-breaking penalty shootout defeat to Czechia in March<\/a>, a result that ended the Republic of Ireland’s World Cup dreams.<\/p>\n

The Dubliner joined the Lancashire club from Bournemouth in 2022, but began to fade from the international scene when Stephen Kenny was in charge of the Boys in Green.<\/p>\n

Brady, who famously scored the winning goal against Italy at Euro 2016 to secure Ireland’s passage to the knockout stages, reinvented himself at Preston, scooping the club\u2019s Player of the Year award and returning to the international fold under Heimir Hallgrimsson.<\/p>\n

The left-back was one of three players not offered a new deal after his current deal expired, with fellow Irish international Will Keane – pictured below – also released.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old centre-forward won the first of his five caps in 2021 in a World Cup qualifier against Portugal.<\/p>\n
