He joined Norwegian team Sarpsborg 08 FF in the summer of 2015.[4]
International career
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,[5] but he rejected the invitation the following day.[6] In September 2010 he declared himself eager to represent Ireland.[1]
