Trent Doherty included in Republic of Ireland Under-16 training camp

Derry City striker Trent Kone Doherty has once again been called up to the Republic of Ireland Under-16 training camp.

The 15-year-old former Foyle Harps graduate has been turning heads with his outstanding displays for Conor Loughrey’s Under-15s this season.

Trent is one of the leading goalscorers in the country and his inclusion in the three-day training camp comes as no surprise.

Republic of Ireland Under-16 Head Coach Paul Osam is working through his options with the U16s set for an international double-header in September and then the prestigious Victory Shield tournament, which is scheduled for October in Belfast.

The U16 Head Coach, who has twice led Ireland to Victory Shield glory, will be giving his 2006-born players a first taste of international football after they missed out on experience at U15 level due to COVID-19.
