All you need to know about Ireland's new call-up

ANNA PATTEN may be an unfamiliar name to Irish football fans, but the player has the potential to be an important member of Eileen Gleeson’s squad in years to come.

Despite the first-team breakthrough, Patten left Arsenal in 2017, travelling to America, where she spent four years playing and studying. Advertisement Around this period, she was heavily involved in the England underage setup, earning caps at U15, U17, U19, U20, U21 and U23 level. Her versatility is one of the reasons why she will be an asset to Ireland, as Patten is capable of playing right-back, centre-back and holding midfielder.

The experienced trio of Louis Quinn, Diane Caldwell and Niamh Fahey were also selected in today’s squad.
