Ireland U-15 international and Letterkenny native Charlie McGarvey
Donegal trio Charlie McGarvey, Jamie O’Donnell and Michael McColgan have been named in the Republic of Ireland Under-16 squad for two friendlies against Greece.
Letterkenny-born McGarvey and Inishowen duo O’Donnell and McColgan, are part of a 30-player panel for the two home games against Greece in the Carlisle Grounds in Bray as part of a week-long training camp.
McGarvey is a goalkeeper for Sligo Rovers, while Buncrana native O'Donnell and McColgan from Muff are both free scoring attackers for Derry City.
