He could be playing under 20's or A Championship or both for his Club while he's trying to break into the first team.Quote:

he is doing neither of the above, one longford dont have an A championship side, and two the first team management in all their wisdom wont release any of the players from the 1st team squad who are underage for the 20's to play,god forbid they actually got a run out of 90minutes of football!
Pity,though I was just answering your original question of how he got into the Irish team.:)Quote:

He was called into the u19 squad the same week or the week after he signed on loan for us (cant remember the exact week), he played two warm up friendlies for them against Ukraine in Morton Stadium and Frank Cook Park a few weeks ago and put in two great performances for them thus earning his place in the u19 squad.
thats fair enough, just wanted it explained how someone not playing regular football could get picked for a national side! if this case make some sense
He was a regular for Rovers 20s and A championship when we signed him
Fair play to craig he scored a header for Ireland VS Luxembourg yesterday in a 5-0 win for the boys in green
