Finn Harps defender Cead McGrath has travelled to Croatia with the Republic of Ireland Under-15 squad this week.
McGrath is in a 20-player squad that will take part in a UEFA Development Tournament.
The Aghyaran man plays for the Finn Harps Under-14 academy team.
He recently took part in a training camp and has now been selected by Jason Donohue, the Irish Under-15 manager, for the tournament in Zagreb.
Ireland will come up against Cyprus, Spain and Croatia with McGrath one of 16 EA Sports National League of Ireland players to receive a call-up.
Donohue said: “It’s great to be back for a new season. We had a training camp with the top 28 players in preparation for the games and we’ve narrowed that down to 20 players.
“We’re looking forward to the three games – it’s going to be a tough challenge.
“We feel we have an exciting squad ready to represent the Republic of Ireland.”
