WILLIAM HONDERMARCK HAS been called up to Jim Crawford’s Ireland U21 squad for the upcoming European Championship qualifiers against Italy and Sweden.
The French-born midfielder, whose family moved to Dublin when he was five, replaces the injured Ryan Johansson in the squad.
It’s Hondermarck’s first international call-up after receiving his Irish passport in 2020.
He made the breakthrough as a 17-year-old at Drogheda United before spending time on the books of Norwich City.
The 20-year-old departed Norwich at the end of last season and signed with Barnsley on a free transfer in September. He recently made his debut for the Championship club.
Ireland face on Italy at Tallaght Stadium on Friday night, before hosting Sweden on Tuesday.
