Crystal Palace Under-18s midfielder Aidan Steele has been called up to the Northern Ireland Under-21s side for the first time, one of several Eagles’ youngsters are recognised by their country.
Steele joins Under-23s goalkeeper Ollie Webber in Andy Crosby’s U21s side. They are the latest Palace Academy prospects to receive international recognition, with Sion Spence having joined up with Wales U21s side last week.
Webber is one of three young Palace goalkeepers who could be in action over the international break. U18s duo Owen Goodman and Joe Whitworth are on the standby lists for England’s Under-18s and Under-17s respectively.
