The Leesider struck the equaliser for Sheffield United in Sunday's game away to Burnley, in his 31st appearance at this level.

The son of former Kerry football great John senior, Egan has now scored in all four of England's top divisions.

That feat was also achieved by another Corkonian, Bandon native Conor Hourihane, a midfield playmaker with Aston Villa.

Egan has scored 19 league goals across the Premier League, Championship, League 1 and League 2.
