St Patrick's Athletic coach Stephen O'Donnell was full of praise for goalkeeper Vitezslav Jaros after their FAI Cup final defeat of Bohemians.

Czech Republic U-21 cap Jaros is on loan to the Saints from Liverpool, as the Reds had scouts at the final in the Aviva to check on his form, and while that could be his last game for the Dublin club as his loan spell is up, O'Donnell praised his impact.

"It's plain to see that he will play at a higher level," O'Donnell said of Jaros after the Cup final win.

"He's only 20. He's brilliant, you saw today, I've played with a few good keepers across channel who had come on loan to Scotland, he's the best 20 year old I've ever come across or been involved with regards football, as a goalkeeper. He makes big saves, he's so composed, the occasion doesn't get to him. If you didn't know his age you would think he was 27 or 28. He thinks like a man, acts like a man and he's just a brilliant keeper."
