Fulham’s Ollie O’Neill has been added to the Republic of Ireland under-21 squad for Friday night’s European Championship qualifier in Latvia.

The Ealing-born winger, who had a spell on loan with Derry City, has returned to Fulham’s under-21 squad with a real flourish scoring four goals in four games for Hayden Mullins’ side. The 20 year-old has won eight under-21 caps for Ireland, scoring two goals.

He has been added to Jim Crawford’s squad for the fixture in Jelgava with the Irish keen to build on wins over Turkey and San Marino last month. The young boys in green will take on Italy and Norway later this year.
