Ronan Maher too, yeah? Watched him come in for the last 10 mins or so yesterday in the cup.
Is that a training camp for British-based players? Seems strange to have no LoI players in it otherwise (especially with the restrictions on moving to England before 18)
Yes was announced as a UK based training camp. Probably get a home based one soon.
Serie A side Sassuolo reportedly submitted a bid for Luton Town and Ireland U19s Ed McJannet. Serie A side Lecce reported to have interest in him too.

The home based players squad announced today : https://www.fai.ie/ireland/news/mu19...-of-qualifiers
It includes Sean Moore of Cliftonville, good news and it didn't take long.
Good to see him involved, hope he sticks around. I don't think he had been competitively involved with NI to date so no messy paperwork should be needed if this does translate into a full squad call-up.
Few other interesting names, Eoin Kenny, Stephen’s son is there. Chris Lotefa is presumably a younger brother of Lido Lotefa
Vaughan has been training with the Hull City first team and is expected to be named in the squad for the Championship game away to Bristol City on 25th Feb. (Yorkshire Post).
That's some jump from being loaned out by non league Oldham to the Northern League because he wasn't fancied by their manager, which was his situation two months ago.
Gonna be an interesting squad. There were 61 lads called up to the training squads and another 20 lads who are obviously in contention (Maguire, Abankwah, Zefi, Vata, Curtis, Pearce, Murphy, O'Mahony, McJannett etc etc)
So you've got 81 lads going for 20 places:
- Byrne
- Maguire
- Curtis (Sam)
- Abankwah
- Grehan
- Okagbue
- Murphy
- Clarke
- McJannett
- Coleman (Cian)
- Ferizaj
- Vaughan
- Mullins
- Vata
- Zefi
- Umeh
- Nzingo
- O’Mahony
- Lonergan
- Pearce
That'd be my squad but there's plenty of good players missing from it.
