Niko Kirwan (Calcio Potenza | Italy)

Full game in a 1-0 win. Trapani rise to 14th on 8 points (they would be around 6th if they didn't start the season with a hefty deduction)

Trapani travel to play Atalanta U23s

Kirwan starts, but Trapani down 2-0 after only 15 mins.

Trapani host Audace Cerignola

Kirwan starts as Trapani lead 2-1 at HT.

Payne is out injured for November, but Kirwan doesn't really seem in AWs discussions anymore.
Shame for him he wasn't retained by Padova as they went up to Serie B.

Trapani lose on penalties. 
Was 1-1 end of NT

Trapani travel to Crotone

Kirwan off the pine at 59 mins (1-1) in a 2-1 win.

Trapani up to 12th.
They would be 4th, if they hadn't been deducted 8 pts before the Serie C season started.

With Payne out is Kirwan a chance of an AWs callup? I mean ADJ got picked last window after a few years similarily off the radar.

Unlikely, but neither Roux or Elliot scream out pick me.

Trapani host Picerno

Early 3rd goal for Niko in a 4-0 win. Glancing header.
Soccerway has him playing as a right winger. Full game.

Match highlights. Trapani ultras throw some flares on to the pitch. One way to keep warm.

Trapani sit 15th, one spot above the relegation zone.
That's after being docked 15 points to start the season. Without that deduction they would be 6th and in the promotion playoffs mix.

Have back pack will travel. His 5th Italian club.
Arrivederci to Sicily. Potenza is about 2 hours south east of Naples.

Potenza are just a point off the Serie C playoff spots. Though with that bloated system it just means being within the top 10 teams in the region.

Potenza host Siracusa.
