"I was two days away from signing up to play college football in the States when Mark Robins rang. It was too good a chance to turn down and it's a dream for me to get the chance to play in the Football League."
Cahil then went on to give a bit of background about himself, "I was at Blackburn's school of excellence when I was a kid and I've always played football, I played at county level and then English colleges after moving to Sheffield University." he said.
"I turned down the chance of non-league football in my first two years at university and then Matlock asked me to go along and I scored on my debut for them. They offered me a contract and I only came in a third of the way through last season after playing at university. They had a bit of an injury crisis, so I came along, got in the side and sort of stuck around from there."
"I graduate in a couple of weeks time and then I can concentrate on my football and I can't wait. It'll be great going to places like Notts County and Bradford City. It should be good."
