Harry had the following to say on his call up:
“Really happy to be selected and looking forward to meeting up with the team and get started, also really excited to be playing with and against some top top players”
NI U21 Manager John Schofield told irishfa.com:
“This is my first full camp in the role and suffice to say, I can’t wait to get started. I’ll be linking back up with players I’ve worked with previously as well as getting to know new some faces and members of staff who’ll be joining up for the first time.
“Im looking forward to generating a close knit, family like environment for everyone involved both on, and off, the field.”
