Young Irish midfielder Adam McDonnell has been nominated for the U17 International Player of the Year gong at the Three FAI International Football Awards which take place in Dublin on Sunday 22nd March.

The 17-year-old is up against Huddersfield’s Danny Kane and Shane Elworthy from Fulham.

McDonnell, who has also won caps at U18 level, is yet to play a competitive game for the Blues since signing from Shelbourne in September as he is still to receive clearance from FIFA due to red tape relating to his education.

Former Blues skipper Jon Walters is amongst those nominated for the Senior International Player of the Year award.

PhilTWTD added 16:11 - Mar 11 He's 18 on May 14th and will no longer be subject to the red tape currently affecting him if he hasn't already received clearance by then.

GiveusaWave added 23:23 - Mar 11 This situation is insane. According to reports from the training ground this guy is just as good as Bishop yet we can't play him because of (quite frankly) ludicrous rules and regulations. Must be so frustrating for the player too as he's watching our premiership bid faulter and can do nothing from the sidelines.
