John Martin
John Martin attacks space, bursts beyond the line, and links play from the front for Shelbourne. His career began with Waterford FC before moving to Dundalk. Shelbourne shaped his breakthrough at home. In 2023/24 Martin contributed to Shelbourne’s title with four goals and four assists. In August 2025 he scored the winning header against Rijeka in Europe.
