James Quinn Retires
Princeton Soccer Association

Having failed to make an impact since joining Northampton in August 2006, James Quinn was transfer listed and in March 2007 joined Scunthorpe on loan. He announced his retirement in September 2007 with the following words:
"If I can't play for Northern Ireland then I would rather quit football and become a fan and cheer the lads on to qualification. I've played 50 times for my county and that fills me with pride."
Quinn is now a UEFA A Licensed coach has run soccer schools in the US and scouted for Luton Town. In 2015 he joined the coaching staff at Tranmere Rovers.
