Youth career edit
Maguire started to play football at amateur club Theole, in his native town of Tiel. Here he was scouted by FC Den Bosch.
Club career edit
FC Den Bosch edit
At the age of 16, he joined FC Den Bosch's first squad.[2]
Utrecht edit
Maguire moved on to FC Utrecht in 2008.[2] He scored Utrecht's fourth goal in their 4–0 win over Celtic in their Europa League play-off win in August 2010.[3]
The development of a long-lasting injury to his back which also affected his left calf muscle caused Maguire to miss games and eventually have to move to less challenging leagues, in the hope of regaining his fitness.[citation needed]
Sarpsborg 08 FF edit
He joined Norwegian team Sarpsborg 08 FF in the summer of 2015.[4]
TEC edit
Maguire moved to TEC in January 2017, after troubles with injuries and the expiration of his contract with Sarpsborg 08 FF.[5] In the summer he was unable to agree a contract extension and left the club.[5]
Limerick edit
Maguire moved from local club TEC to Limerick in February 2018.[6] During his time at the club, which was struggling to avoid relegation for most of the season, he became one of the team's highest scorers, with most of his goals coming from late runs into the box. He scored three goals but failed to save his team from relegation.[7]
Geylang International edit
In January 2019 it was announced that Maguire had joined Singapore Premier League club Geylang International.[8] He won the 2020 Singapore Premier League Goal of the Year award a goal in a 2–1 win over the Young Lions in August.[9]
Return to Den Bosch edit
After his contract with Geylang International expired Maguire trained with former club FC Den Bosch for three weeks. He subsequently agreed a contract until the end of the season in January 2022.[10]
International career edit
Maguire represented the Republic of Ireland Under-16 and the Netherlands Under-19 teams, since his father is Irish,[2] Maguire can still represent either the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland at senior competitive level.[2]
On 27 January 2009, Barry Maguire was called up to the Republic of Ireland Under 21 squad for the first time,[11] but he rejected the invitation the following day.[12] In September 2010 he declared himself eager to represent Ireland.[1]
