Get in touch with Diarmaid Marsden at the Ulster Council, he should be able to put you in contact with someone.
Portadown has/had a foreign national team. I remember reading about a guy called Abbie Mohammed playing for Derrynoose in the 1950s.

Sure the Clans have had "Non Irish Nationals" playing with them for over a hundred years. Here's a club photo from 1909, notice second from the left, fifth and seventh from the right, all on the back row:

I think Aidan O Mahony is from South America originally, he couldn't have got that lovely tan in Ireland surely.

Opps, apologies if you are looking in big lad. If it's any consolation my 17yo niece reckons the afro is 'cool'.
