Career

Nottingham Forest

Byrne signed for Nottingham Forest in July 2007 from Dublin schoolboy side, Crumlin United after unsuccessful trials at Leicester City and Stoke City.[1] He was named as a substitute in Forest's 1–1 draw at home to Walsall in March 2008. He then made his professional debut for Forest as a 70th minute substitute on 5 April 2008 in a 3–1 victory against Cheltenham Town.

With the Reds gaining promotion, manager Colin Calderwood commented that he would be given the chance to impress next season after Forest's promotion to the Championship in the upcoming 2008–09 season.[2]

Burton Albion (loan)

On 13 March 2009, Byrne was sent on loan to Conference National side Burton Albion for the remainder of the season,[3] featuring in seven of the remaining eleven fixtures before being promoted, as champions, to the Football League.

Rushden and Diamonds (loan)

On 20 July 2009, Byrne joined Conference National side Rushden & Diamonds on an initial six-month loan,[4] but eventually signed on for the rest of the season.[5] The Irishman made 44 appearances with Rushden & Diamonds in 2009–10, scoring seven goals in the process. He was received two awards at the end-of-season presentation night.[6] He left Nene Park at the end of his loan spell at the season's end.

Barnet

At the start of the 2010–11 season, he joined Barnet until 1 January 2011 when his loan spell was cut short due to injury.[7] Byrne returned to Barnet in March 2011.[8] After his release from Nottingham Forest in June, Byrne signed a two-year deal with Barnet.[9]

International career

In 2005 Byrne won a bronze medal playing for Ireland U18 in the European Youth Olympic Festival.
