Tom Grennan makes u-turn on Belfast football club's offer

A Belfast football club could land the signing of the summer after music star Tom Grennan agreed to train with them.

Grennan - whose hits include Remind Me and Let’s Go Home Together - has offered to link up with Ford FC ahead of his upcoming concert at Custom House Square.

The 27-year-old is football mad, and recently starred in this summer's Soccer Aid at London Stadium, scoring a pearler of a goal in the charity clash.

Grennan comically turned down a training session with Ford ahead of Soccer Aid, but he has now made a u-turn and offered to join the lads for a kick-about ahead of his Belfast gig on August 18.

One of Grennan's biggest fans is Shay Kennedy, who sits on the committee at Ford. Grennan gave Shay a shout-out during a recent interview with Q-Radio's Declan Wilson.

He said: "Shay Kennedy. Were are you mate? We miss ya!

"Thanks so much for supporting, man, and listen, I will meet you when I come to Belfast and we will have a drink and a cuddle.

"And we might have a kick-about as well. We will bring a football. I love you loads and I will see you soon."

Grennan added: "If I have got a minute, maybe we could set up a training session and I will come in with the boys. Maybe that will happen, that will be good."
