Will Ferry called up to Ireland squad for Grenada friendly

Ferry has been given permission by Dundee United to link up with Ireland in Spain.

DUNDEE UNITED DEFENDER Will Ferry has been drafted into the Republic of Ireland squad for Saturday’s friendly international against Grenada in Murcia, Spain. 

Ferry, a left-back, has been given permission by his club to link up the Irish squad for their out-of-Fifa-window training camp. Ireland’s options at left-back for the game had been depleted by the withdrawal of Cardiff City’s Joel Bagan. 

Ferry has been called up the Irish squad once before, called up as a replacement for the October World Cup qualifiers away to Portugal and at home to Armenia following the forced withdrawal of Callum O’Dowda. Ferry did not make an appearance, but has continued to perform well at club level in the Scottish Premiership, and scored twice in a 3-0 win over rivals Dundee last month. 

An experimental Ireland squad will face Grenada in a first-ever clash between the two nations on Saturday. The game kicks off at 6pm and is live on the RTÉ Player. 

Ireland also completed a training game against Real Murcia B on Tuesday, winning 2-0 thanks to goals from Millenic Alli and Adam Idah.
