Darren Randolph’s club performances have been recognised with a place in the Championship Team of the Season.
The Middlesbrough goalkeeper has been one of the most reliable stoppers in the second tier of English football and he is the sole Republic of Ireland international named in the team.
Randolph has 16 clean sheets already this season for Boro and 12 in his 36 appearances for Ireland although his international heroics were not taken into account when he was named in the Championship XI.
The 31-year-old from Bray came up with a stunning save during Ireland’s 1-0 victory over Georgia on Tuesday night to cap off a rewarding day for the ‘keeper.

Irish internationals from various levels also feature in the Teams of the Season in League One and League Two.
Aiden McGeady, who has 92 appearances for Ireland, has been named in the League One XI for his exploits with fourth-placed Sunderland while Luton Town centre-forward James Collins, who used to represent the Republic of Ireland’s U21 side, has also been acknowledged with a place up front.
Both McGeady and Collins are also up for Player of the Season in their league at the upcoming EFL Awards.
