He then spent time with the St. Pats Academy before making the switch to Shamrock Rovers in 2020 where he lined out for their U17s, U19s and Shamrock Rovers B.
The 20-year-old then signed for Stoke City in July 2022, competing in the Premier League 2 and spending time on loan with Leek Town FC.

Harps boss Darren Murphy said: “I’m absolutely delighted to welcome Dara to the club. He is a really exciting talent having come through the ranks at St. Pats and Shamrock Rovers before then entering the Stoke City academy system.
“From speaking with him he is very keen to get in now and hit the ground running at Finn Park. He gives us that added quality in that area of the pitch.
“And he fits the mould of the kind of player me and my staff are looking to bring into the football club. It’s great to have him signed up now and I’m looking forward to working with him this season.”
