SINGAPORE - The smaller crowds and stadiums of the Singapore Premier League (SPL) are a world away from the bright lights of elite football in Europe, but Barry Maguire sees his stint with Geylang International as a time to rebuild a career that is almost wrecked by injury.
The midfielder is the highest-profile signing for the upcoming SPL season, having played in the Dutch top-flight Eredivisie for FC Utrecht and VVV Venlo and represented the age-group teams of the Netherlands and Ireland.
