A young man very much on the rise.
He may have only been invited to train alongside the senior squad ahead of this month’s friendly matches, but at this rate Martin O’Neill would want to have a good reason keep Jack Byrne out of the Republic of Ireland panel for Euro 2016.
The Manchester City and Ireland U-21 star has been earning rave reviews during his loan spell with Dutch top-flight side Cambuur, and he added another highlight to his reel with a stunning strike to open the scoring against Heracles this afternoon.
Byrne picked the ball up 30 yards from goal before beating a man and firing an unstoppable strike past the goalkeeper.

Unfortunately, Heracles came back to win 3-1, but surely the impressive Byrne’s next invitation to Ireland camp will be a more formal one?
