The Latics’ youth midfielder Harry Robinson has been called up to the Northern Ireland U19s squad; 18-year-old Harry will be available to play in the mini tournament, hosted by his national side, as part of the first stage of qualification for next year’s UEFA U19 European Championship finals in Armenia. The tournament takes place between November 14th and 20th and Ireland will play Poland, Serbia and Kazakhstan.
Interim Academy Manager Peter Wild said, “It’s fantastic news for Harry. It is something that, as a club and an academy, we are really proud of. He will go there in really good form. He had a tough first year with the youth team through injury but now he’s really found the form that we saw when we first spotted him. Unfortunately for him, he will miss the Youth Cup Second Round match and our trip to Rotherham but it will be a good opportunity for someone else and it is up to them to take that chance.”
