Career & Clubs
Fagan played at international football for the Republic of Ireland at under-19 and under-21 levels. He played for the under-19s in qualifying for the 2008 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, in a 2–0 loss to Belarus on 1 November 2007, and a 3–0 win over Andorra two days later. He received his first call-up to the under-21 side in January 2009, while he was training at the Glenn Hoddle Academy, for a match against Germany the following month; however, he was an unused substitute in the match. He made his debut the next month, coming on for Alan Judge in the 76th minute of a 2–1 win over Spain, followed by another substitute appearance in a 3–0 loss to Turkey in a qualifier for the 2009 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.

He made two substitute appearances for the reserves in 2005–06, scoring on his second outing against Middlesbrough after coming on for John O'Shea. He made a further nine reserve appearances in 2006–07, including his first start in a 2–0 Manchester Senior Cup win over Oldham Athletic, followed by his first reserve team goal in a 1–0 league win over Everton three days later; however, he struggled to break into the reserves on a regular basis in 2007–08, scoring three goals in just seven appearances, and he was released at the end of the season. After his release, Fagan began training at the Glenn Hoddle Academy in Spain, leading to a trial period with Huddersfield Town in March 2009, in which he scored a hat-trick on his debut for the club's reserves, before Hamilton Academical signed him at the end of that month.
