MILLWALL ARE BACK in the second tier of English football.
After a two-season stay in League One, the south-east London club sealed their place in the Championship for next season with victory this afternoon at Wembley.
A close-range volley in the 85th minute from Steve Morison gave Neil Harris’ side a 1-0 win against Bradford City in the League One play-off decider.
Two Irishmen helped Millwall to secure promotion today, with Shaun Williams and Aiden O’Brien both starting in the victory.
Dublin-born 30-year-old Williams — a former Drogheda United and Sporting Fingal midfielder — has been with Millwall since leaving MK Dons in 2014.
O’Brien, 23, a London-born attacker who’s been capped by the Republic of Ireland at U21 level, came through the youth system at Millwall.
It was a disappointing day at Wembley for three other Irishmen, however, as Colin Doyle, Billy Clarke and Josh Cullen — who’s on loan from West Ham — were all part of the defeated Bradford side, who finished six points ahead of Millwall in the League One table.
