KILLIAN CAHILL is on the track to be a future Premier League star.
But his parents are more used to the athletics track than the football pitch.
Cahill is making the most of his sporting genes as Brighton‘s third choice keeper.
It was confirmed last week that the youngster has made the club’s 25-man Premier League squad.
And the news of him crossing the line from youth to senior football would have made his parents and former athletes Sean and Terri very proud.
The 20-year-old’s dad is a former Olympic hurdler, who represented Ireland at the Atlanta 1996 Games.
He came seventh in the second heat in the 110m hurdles.
As for Terri, she is a former long jump star and she once jumped 6.11m at 1993 World Championships in Stuttgart.
Cahill channels his mum’s leaping talents on the goal-line and they caught the eye of Brighton scouts two years ago while playing for Shamrock Rovers’ youth-team.
He signed a new contract extension at the Seagulls over the summer.

Cahill is still waiting for his senior debut – but he has earned two caps for Ireland‘s Under-21s.
His first appearance came in a 2-2 draw against England.
B&M shoppers are flocking to buy a perfume dupe that’s scanning at tills for just £3 – and it’s cheaper than the original version.
The discounter is selling a body mist that a customer described as “a good little stocking filler” ahead of the Christmas period.

B&M is selling the body mist for £2.99, while Victoria’s Secret perfume costs £59 for a 100ml bottle, £45 for 50ml and £15 for 7ml on the official website.
Victoria’s Secret also sells the fragrance as a body mist – costing £22 for a 250ml bottle and £15 for 75ml.

She wrote: “This is a copy of Victoria’s Secret Bombshell, found it in B&M for £2.99.
“It’s not long lasting probably 2-3 hours, it’s a body mist so to be expected and for the price.”
But the shopper said it is “perfect” if you already wear perfume and can layer it underneath.
She added the body mist is a good gift idea over Christmas.
Other B&M customers commented on the post to share their thoughts on the fragrance.
One wrote: “I got this it’s so nice.”
Another added: “Love this. Smells so good.”
A shopper commented: “Love this but so hard to find!”
Someone tagged her friend and said: “We need to try this one.”
And one more person said: “I love Bombshell but to be honest I don’t think the real thing lasts very long anyway.”

In the clip, she revealed: “How I keep my 44-year-old skin healthy.”
She revealed it was all down to one step in her skincare routine – cleansing – but with a specific product.
Olga swore by using an oil cleaner to wash away impurities and keep her skin baby soft.
She said it was: “Simple, effective, keeps the skin barrier healthy and picks up all the dirt and make-up.”

HELEN Flanagan has gushed over her new footballer boyfriend as she lifted the lid on signing for Celebs Go Dating when they were already dating.
The former Coronation Street actress, 34, opened up on claims she should have quit the E4 series when The Sun was first to reveal she was “in love” with her new man.
Helen‘s secret romance then played out in full on Celebs Go Dating, in scenes which saw her confess her feelings about former footballer Robbie Talbot, 44, to the programme’s relationship experts.
On Monday’s Lorraine show, the mum of three was quizzed on the situation – which came as part of her desire to move on following her split with fiance Scott Sinclair, 35.
The couple broke up in October 2022 after their 13-year relationship came to an end.
Yet Helen told ITV host Lorraine Kelly, 64, how her intentions for Celebs Go Dating were pure when she put pen to paper on her deal – despite allegations of “faking” her feelings during her opening show dates.
She said: “I signed up for the show at the beginning of the year, and we [she and Robbie] were dating.
“It just progressed.
“I wear my heart on my sleeve and I just wanted to come clean.”
She added: “I wanted to be true to myself.
“I am a big fan of the show, I love the show, and I wanted to get the most from the show.
“I wanted to be honest.”
The actress then addressed how her relationship with Robbie, who played for teams including Morcambe and Burton Albion, had become “really intense” as she started filming the matchmaking series.
Helen – now clearly loved-up – then went on to praise her man for supporting her latest career venture.
She said of the show, on which Robbie has now appeared: “It’s not his thing at all.
Celebs Go Dating is soon welcoming a new bunch of famous faces in search of love. Here is where you may have seen some of them before...
“He is a blokey bloke.
“It’s not his thing at all.
“It was sweet he came onto the show with me.”
Later in the chat, she told how Robbie is “not bothered” about the showbiz lifestyle “at all.”
Her comments came after we reported that Helen’s boyfriend had been written into the series as a show first.
She dropped the bombshell following a fast-flirting event.
The Celebs Go Dating singletons had been tasked with an event to test their skills under pressure, and were armed with buzzers and a deck of “get to know you” cards.
She said: “Unfortunately I am comparing everyone to him [Ronnie]
“And it’s making it very difficult now when I’m dating.”
In a piece direct to camera, Anna Williamson said: “Pardon, you’ve got a boyfriend?
“Why on Earth hasn’t she told us?”
Addressing the group, Helen continued: “My feelings have just got stronger and more intense.
“I actually could see something with this guy at home being something really quite lovely
“I think I am in love with him.”
Previously, a source told us: “Helen tried to keep the relationship under wraps because of Celebs Go Dating.
“But that’s become difficult as their feelings have grown for each other. It came to a head when she was quizzed by the dating agents about why she was failing to pursue connections on the show.
“The one rule of CGD is stars must be single.
“But E4 bosses were desperate to keep her, so found a way to write Robbie into the show.
“Sources on set have seen him filming alongside Helen. While it’s not known how E4 will justify the fakery, viewers will feel they’re trying to pull the wool over their eyes.”
Since the scenes played out, Helen has made a cheeky sex confession about her new man while talking to the experts.
She couldn’t keep her hands off her new man as they headed onto the show sofa.
Four in 10 Brits have missed out on ‘free money’ from loyalty rewards, discount cards or cashback points because they have expired before they can use them.
A study of 2,000 adults also found 20% only ‘sometimes’ use cashback schemes or other money-saving tricks when making purchases.
With the main reasons including it being too complicated, time consuming or they simply can’t be bothered.
While 26% are never sure if it’s just a scam, and 61 per cent think you have to spend ‘a lot’ of money on a credit card before getting decent rewards.
Mark Plowright, director of Virgin Trains Ticketing, which lets customers purchase railcards on the app and website, says: “We all wish our money could go a bit further.
“Railcards are one of the most efficient cash-savers out there, yet 64 per cent of train travellers don’t own one.
“Many will know the pain of growing out of their young person’s railcard, but there are lots of others available that can help save money.”
The study found seven in 10 (69% ) consider pure cash rewards the best benefit a company can offer.
Second on the list was discount vouchers (37%), followed free products, services or trips (26 per cent).
Just under six in 10 (59%) also say they would be more likely to use a loyalty reward scheme if the process were simplified.
As 43% admit there are places they often shop at, which offer rewards, but they’re not signed up to them.
Even though 84% believe it’s now more important than ever to get the most out of your money, according to the OnePoll figures.
And when they do save, over half (56%) have been surprised by the sheer amount they’ve managed to get.
While 14% have bought a more expensive train ticket by accident or have forgotten to use their railcard.
And 38% don’t think you can save much with a railcard – despite those with a 16-25 or 26-30 railcard being able to cut their train travel cost by a third.
Mark Plowright for Virgin Trains Ticketing, which helps travellers save money on their next train ticket by earning points on travel, added: “With the cost of living still a huge issue, it’s more important than ever to be financially savvy.
“Utilising rewards programs, loyalty schemes and discount cards can help save money on essentials and make the most of your spending.”
MOST UK supermarkets have loyalty schemes so customers can build up points and save money while they shop.
Here we round up what saving programmes you’ll find at the big brands.
