A representative from Men's Action Network has suggested arranging a face-to-face conversation with James McClean.

Lynch stated he would welcome the opportunity to talk about his perspectives on recent therapy-related comments made by the footballer.

The 37-year-old international began his professional journey at Derry City before transferring to Sunderland in England.

His career has included spells at West Bromwich Albion, Stoke and Wigan Athletic across the Premier League and Championship leagues.

Following over 100 appearances for Wrexham where he netted eight goals, McClean returned to Derry City last January.

The proposal was initially reported by Derry Now before being picked up by BBC Sport Northern Ireland.

No specific date or venue has been confirmed for the potential encounter between the charity representative and the player.

Men's Action Network continues to support individuals dealing with mental health challenges within the community.

James McClean remains under contract with his club in the Irish Premiership.

The matter is currently awaiting a response from the footballer regarding his availability for such a meeting.
