Louis Brogan makes Ireland Rugby League squad for upcoming Scotland International

Louis Brogan will line out for Ireland's Rugby League side against Scotland next weekend

Ireland Rugby League Head Coach Ged Corcoran has named Louis Brogan in his long-haul squad for the upcoming Autumn International against Scotland at Gateshead on Sunday week.

Brogan, a Manchester native, has strong ties to Donegal Town and is the grandson of the late Liam Brogan.

Liam Brogan was one of the legendary Brogan brothers who featured for Four Masters in the 1950s and ‘60s.

Four Brogan brothers - Jim, Liam, Angus and Patsy - all played for Four Masters with Patsy going on to feature for Donegal and Ulster for many years.

Patsy Brogan was wing-back on the first Donegal team to play in Croke Park. That was the 1952 National Football League semi-final against Cork.
