The stats that show just how effective Finn Harps’ Paddy McCourt is!

Finn Harps ace Paddy McCourt was listed among the world’s top footballers in a presentation at the Opta Pro Forum 2018.

Opta, are a sports analytics company who provide data for a wide range of sports across the world.

At the Pro Forum, currently being held in Euston Square, a breakdown was shown of various statistics from the world of football.

And listed in the top ten for ‘most completed take-ons’ was McCourt, just behind Middlesbrough’s Adama Traoré.

McCourt, a 19-times capped Northern Ireland international, signed for Harps just before the start of the 2017 season and the Derry native has agreed a new one-year contract at Finn Park, despite the club’s relegation to the First Division.

Really enjoying this talk. This also shows how ridiculously good Xavi is. #OptaProForum pic.twitter.com/4tlfHaOxKa
