Our very own Aaron Brian Doran Cogan has been called up to the Republic of Ireland U21 squad for the forthcoming friendly against Denmark and the qualifier against Italy.

He was on the fringes of the U21 squad before his bad injury so it's pleasing that his ICT performances towards the end of the season have got him back in contention. Hopefully he'll get to make an appearance.

I'm sure I read a tweet of his recently saying he had to pull out due to injury.

If not then its brilliant news he's certainly well thought of in Ireland at u21 level proven by how regularly he gets called up. If he stays fit he a couple years away from a first team call up imo. Imense talent to be unearthed in this lad.

Ah, I haven't seen anything official about him pulling out but you may well be right.

Aaron is still listed in the squad

I Might be wrong then.

I also notice mark conolly is a free agent on that list. Young former Bolton reserve team captain. Worth a look?

That was Aaron commenting on the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland's guide to contraception I think.

FAI have now confirmed Aaron's withdrawal and called up a replacement.

Shame for him again. Caps Off a Disappointing season for him. Hope next season is better for his and our sake. If jonny goes we won't get a much better replacement the Aaron. Next season is vital for him.
