Who is Dave Warren?

Early Football Days

Dave started his football journey in his hometown of Cork. He began playing with a local team called Mayfield United. At first, he played as a central midfielder, helping his team control the middle of the field. This was where he learned many of his basic football skills.

Playing for Ireland's Youth Team

Joining Wrexham AFC

Back to Cork City
