WICKLOW keeper Mark Jackson has signed with NFL agent Rob Roche ahead of the upcoming season, according to US-based Irish journalist Conor Mangan.
Jackson has just completed his pro day with Rory Beggan, Charlie Smyth and Darragh Leader along with the other International Player Pathway players at the University of South Florida.

Roche also represents the highest-paid kicker in the NFL, Justin Tucker of the Baltimore Ravens.
Tucker’s current deal, signed in 2022, is worth a total of $24 million over four years.
He also holds the record for the longest-made field goal in the NFL, which was from 66 yards out against the Detroit Lions.
