Morgan Wins Northern Ireland U19s Cap - Ipswich Town News
Blues youngster Rio Morgan won his third Northern Ireland U19s cap as his side were beaten 1-0 by France at Stade de la Source in Orleans in their opening Euro 2023 elite round qualifier this evening.
Morgan, 17, who has previously played for the Northern Ireland U17s and U18s and is the youngest member of the current squad, came off the bench in the 71st minute.
