Barrett calls time out
Friday, 25 September 2009 15:04
Shane Barrett is taking time out to contemplate his future in football. Drogheda United striker Barrett has struggled to return to full fitness after suffering a career-threatening knee ligament injury that ruled him out of the entire 2007 league campaign.
The two-time FAI Cup winner returned to action this season but has now decided to put his career on hold before decided whether to return.

"My job with 3 mobile takes up a lot of my time," Barrett explained. "It want to make things easier on myself by concentrating on my job and my family for the moment.

"It's totally different nowadys compared to when I first came to Drogheda three and a half years ago, when I was single and a full-time footballer.

"Nowadays it's different as I have a partner and a four month old son to consider. Over the last three years I've put in such intense effort in trying to get back playing. For now I feel like I need a break for a while. I haven't ruled out the possibility of going back playing at some stage."
