Jack Moylan has joined a very exclusive club with his Ireland debut hat-trick.

The former Shelbourne forward enjoyed a dream debut for the Boys in Green when he scored a second-half hat-trick against Grenada on Saturday.

Ireland faced the Caribbean nation in Murcia, Spain, at the end of a week-long training camp, where Moylan was one of nine uncapped players to take part.

Seven of those made their maiden Ireland bow in the Grenada game, with Erin Cashin missing out through injury and former Shamrock Rovers goalkeeper Killian Cahill not making it off the bench.

But it was Moylan who stole the show when he took up the goalscoring reins after Tom Cannon bagged the opening two goals.

And the Lincoln City man could have had more, but for some sharp goalkeeping in the first-half.

Moylan is only the second ever player to score a debut hat-trick – after David Kelly, who marked his first appearance with a treble in a friendly against Israel in 1987.

It was the 15th time that an Ireland player registered a hat-trick, with just 11 players managing that feat.
