Kieran McKenna’s side are one of the favourites to go straight back down, but Ogbene may have something to say about that.

“In January 2018 I was here on trial, I was here on trial during the time of Mick McCarthy,” he recalled when speaking to TownTV.

“No hard feelings, I think I was quite raw and I wasn’t ready and I signed for Brentford at that time.

“I’m quite familiar (with the training ground). It’s a lot upgraded, a lot advanced from the last time I remember it.

“It was a good place and it was my first trial in England, so it was surreal for me, to see such facilities that we don’t have back home in Ireland. A second time coming, so hopefully this time it will be positive.”
