After race at Dundalk Fri, 14th Feb, 2025 (1st) 
I've known about Dylan for the past year or two and I've been keeping an eye on him. When Sean Bowen (champion UK apprentice jockey) moved away to the UK, I was looking out for someone to take on. Dylan is a Cork man and I was asking one of the valets two weeks ago where I would get a good apprentice so he said to ring him, as Michael Halford had just retired and Dylan was signed-on to him. I signed him up straight away. We will try and mind his 10lb claim although I'd say he will probably go jumping eventually.
