[edit] Career
[edit] Club career
Born in Dublin, County Dublin, Fagan signed for Lincoln City in June 2009, joining them from the Glenn Hoddle Academy.[1] He made his Lincoln debut on 8 August 2009 in the League Two match against Barnet at the Sincil Bank, which Lincoln won 1–0. He scored his first goal for the club on 18 August in the League Two match against Bradford City at Valley Parade, which Lincoln won 2–0.
On 1 February 2010, Fagan finalised a move to take him to Jerez Industrial CF on loan for the remainder of the 2009-10 season.[2] He scored two goals on his debut for Industrial, helping them come back from 2–0 down to beat Sangonera 3–2 at home.
He returned to Lincoln City in May 2010, but was placed on the transfer list by manager Chris Sutton. On 31 August 2010, Fagan was released by Lincoln City.[3]
In October 2010, Fagan went on trial with Conference National side Gateshead,[4] scoring for the reserves on 26 October in a 5–1 defeat against Middlesbrough Reserves.[5]
In February 2011, Pat Fenlon brought Fagan to Bohemians just in time for the new season.[6] Fagan signed following an earlier, unsuccessful, trial with Shamrock Rovers.[7] He scored his first goal for the club on his League debut for Bohs against Bray Wanderers on 4 March 2011 from the penalty spot in the Carlisle Grounds.[8] Despite an injury hit campaign, he managed to score 11 league goals in 23 appearances and also netted for Bohs in their UEFA Europa League tie against Olimpija Ljubljana.[9]
Fagan signed for St Patrick's Athletic for the 2012 season, replacing Danny North as Pats' number 9.[10] Fagan started off well at his new club, receiving the man of the match award at home to Cliftonville, for his superb link up play in the Setanta Sports Cup First Round Second Leg at Richmond Park.
[edit] International career
He made his Republic of Ireland U21 debut on 10 February 2009, in a friendly against Germany U21 at Turners Cross, which ended in a 1–1 draw.
