Irish squad of 30 for U19 training camp

Ireland Under-19 manager Sean McCaffrey has announced a squad of 30 players for a training camp to be held at Bisham Abbey in England from February 28-March 4 as part of their preparations for the UEFA U-19 elite stage qualifiers in Ukraine.

The group will spend five days at the purpose-built training facility to begin working towards the qualifiers which take place from May 26-31. Ireland's route to the finals in France this July is a daunting one as they face both of last season's finalists in their group.

Also receiving their first international call up's are Belfast players Daniel Kearns (West Ham United) and Daniel Devine (Preston North End).

Darren McCauley makes Celtic move

Derry City have agreed to allow their Ireland u19 international midfielder, Darren McCauley, to join Celtic on loan for a period of six months, the Derry Journal has learned.

The 18 year old midfielder, who joined his home town club on an amateur contract, has been attracting interest from quite a few cross-Channel clubs and is understood to be anxious to take advantage of such a move.

McCauley impressed during a trial with Blackburn Rovers last season but with the Premiership club not prepared to meet their responsibility under the UEFA Under-23 Agreement, that move fell through.

In addition, it's believed the Waterside man had also been attracting attention from clubs such as Ipswich Town and SPL representatives, Hearts, but transfer negotiations failed to materialise.

McCauley made his international debut last September when he impressed Sean McCaffrey during the Clarion Hotel Four Nations Tournament trophy in Dublin.
