Ireland u19s

You could argue that this squad is far more exciting than our 21’s.

If only they knew that both our 17s and 19s have consistently been ranked amongst the best 10 teams in Europe for the past 2-3 years.

Daithi McCallion I wouldn't be surprised to see switch given his family's background.

North obviously trying to act the bollox  Disappointingly the north didn't include him. Would have been funny. We could do worse than send a couple of scouts to their games though because I'd say there's a few more in there that would happily jump ship if we wanted them. Goalkeepers – Josh Clarke (Celtic), Pierce Charles (Sheffield Wednesday). Defenders – Daithi McCallion (Finn Harps, on loan from Derry City), Dylan Sloan (Newry City, on loan from Larne), Josh Roney (Stoke City), Reece Jordan (Portadown), Aaron Wightman (Glentoran), Brodie Spencer (Huddersfield Town), Tommy Fogarty (Birmingham City). Midfielders – Conor Scannell (Ards), Jamie McDonnell (Nottingham Forest), Darren Robinson (Derby County), Rio Morgan (Ipswich Town), Jamie Doran (Glenavon). Forwards – Charlie Lindsay (Rangers), Callum Marshall (West Ham United), Aaron Prendergast (Glenavon), Makenzie Kirk (Hearts), Sam Glenfield (Fleetwood Town), Conor Falls (Huddersfield Town).

At his age he's probably better staying where he is for the time being if there might actually be some interest.

Good record at U18s level with West Ham but it's U18s. He'll be overage for the U19s next season and the level of talent we've got who'll still be underage for the U19s next season he might not even get a look in at U21 in two years.

No point switching now and making it harder for yourself in time to switch back if things don't work out.
