Shamrock Rovers' Michael Noonan became the youngest goalscorer in European club competition history after he earned his side a 1-0 win in the first leg of their Conference League knockout round playoff at Norway's Molde on Thursday.

In a historic moment for European football, 16-year-old Shamrock Rovers striker Mason Melia became the youngest scorer in European club competition history during a UEFA Conference League match against Ferencváros on February 14, 2025. Melia, who was born on September 26, 2008, scored in the 27th minute, breaking the record previously held by Youssoufa Moukoko. Despite his goal, Shamrock Rovers lost the match 4-1. Melia's achievement adds to his growing reputation, having already made his senior debut for Rovers at 15 and scoring in the League of Ireland. His performance has sparked interest from several top European clubs, highlighting his potential as a future star in the sport.
