McGoldrick in Ireland Squad - Ipswich Town News

Town striker David McGoldrick has been named in the provisional Republic of Ireland squad for their World Cup qualifier against Austria later this month.

The side led by Martin O'Neill and his assistant, former Town boss Roy Keane, face the Austrians in Vienna on Saturday 12th November.

McGoldrick, who has previously won four caps, so far without scoring, missed out on a place at Euro 2016 having been named in the provisional squad for their pre-tournament friendlies.

Also in the squad are former Town skipper Jonathan Walters and ex-Blues midfielder Conor Hourihane, but Daryl Murphy isn't involved having struggled with a calf injury since his move to Newcastle.

Dundalk winger Daryl Horgan, who was recently watched by Blues scouts, receives his first international call-up.

Republic of Ireland: Darren Randolph (West Ham United), Keiren Westwood (Sheffield Wednesday), Colin Doyle (Bradford City), Ian Lawlor (Manchester City), Danny Rogers (Falkirk, on loan from Aberdeen), Seamus Coleman (Everton), Cyrus Christie, Richard Keogh, Alex Pearce (Derby County), John O'Shea (Sunderland), Ciaran Clark (Newcastle United), Paul McShane (Reading), Shane Duffy (Brighton & Hove Albion), Andy Boyle (Dundalk), Stephen Ward (Burnley), Aiden McGeady (Preston North End, on loan from Everton), James McClean (West Bromwich Albion), Jeff Hendrick (Burnley), James McCarthy (Everton), Stephen Quinn (Reading), Glenn Whelan (Stoke City), Harry Arter (Bournemouth), Eunan O'Kane (Leeds United), David Meyler (Hull City), Stephen Gleeson (Birmingham City), Conor Hourihane (Barnsley), Robbie Brady, Wes Hoolahan (Norwich City), Callum O'Dowda (Bristol City), Jonathan Hayes (Aberdeen), Daryl Horgan (Dundalk), Jonathan Walters (Stoke City), Adam Rooney (Aberdeen), Kevin Doyle (Colorado Rapids), David McGoldrick (Ipswich Town).
