That's a front three straight out of heaven.
Preston North End seem to be the next step for a player who has outgrown the League of Ireland.
In January 2017, Daryl Horgan made the trip across the water to the Lancashire club. After he had ripped it up for Dundalk in the Irish League for a few seasons, the speedy Irish winger joined the English club with a strong Irish contingent.
Five months later, Sean Maguire's head was turned. The Luton born attacker had destroyed all before him in the Greatest League in the World in 2016 and 2017, totalling 40 goals between those two seasons.
Preston North End was the logical next step and he hit the ground running in the Championship. Despite suffering an untimely hamstring injury halfway through his season, the 24-year-old was undeterred and he went onto haunt opposition defences like he had done in Ireland the year previous.
He ended his debut season in England with nine goals, a number of assists, performances worthy of a call up to the Ireland team and plenty of admirers.
And then there was another. Graham Burke joined Alex Neill's Irish selection last month from Shamrock Rovers and he made his debut on Saturday afternoon alongside Irish attacking duo Horgan and Maguire.

Preston began their preparations for next season as they would have wanted to, destroying non League English club Bamber Bridge by seven goals to nil.
Hot off his Republic of Ireland debut against France in Paris, his first goal in green against the USA the following week, the good times kept rolling for Burke on this sunny July Saturday.
He got his Preston career off to a flyer, netting just five minutes into his first start for his new club. That's the start he needed and hopefully he'll kick on from here.
Sean Maguire gave another glimpse of his explosive recent form, the nippy forward billed as Ireland's replacement to finally fill Robbie Keane's scoring boots netted a first half hat-trick.

All Irish eyes will be on Preston next year.
