Despite the disappointment of not making the World Cup, this month\u2019s Ireland camp still offers something for fans to get excited about.<\/p>\n

With a friendly against Grenada in Murcia, Spain, Heimir Hallgrimsson<\/a> has the chance to give new players an opportunity in the green jersey, with one eye on the future and a potential home European Championships in 2028.<\/p>\n

One of the players that fans are keen to get a call-up is Lincoln City man Jack Moylan.<\/p>\n

Moylan has scored 11 goals this season from attacking midfield as The Imps won promotion to the Championship in over 60 years. He\u2019s in red-hot form heading into this training camp, and the former Shelbourne star isn\u2019t hiding his excitement about playing for the Boys in Green.<\/p>\n

Speaking on BBC Radio Lincolnshire, Moylan admitted straight away he\u2019d love to play for Ireland, before admitting that he was even a season ticket holder at the Aviva Stadium<\/a> and went to every game he could.<\/p>\n

\u2018I won\u2019t hide away from it. It\u2019s my dream to play for my country.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019ve been a season ticket holder from the age of eight, I used to go to every game with my dad.\u2019<\/p>\n

It looks like it won\u2019t be long until the Dubliner gets a chance to play for his beloved National team, as Hallgrimsson went over to Lincoln to watch him play in person, something Moylan was happy to find out.<\/p>\n

\u2018I heard he was here, it\u2019s great, fair play to him for coming over and watching matches.<\/p>\n

\u2018Obviously, we had such a disappointment with the country [in the World Cup play-offs], but I think the country\u2019s on the right path. So yeah, who knows what will happen next year.\u2019<\/p>\n

Lincoln were able to celebrate their promotion and the squad of players were even jokingly chanting about playing against Tottenham Hotspur next season in the Championship.<\/p>\n

\u2018What a day, what a season, what a year,\u2019 said Moylan. \u2018It\u2019s just been unforgettable. It\u2019s the best season of my life. I can believe it. I don\u2019t think today is luck, the season\u2019s not luck.\u2019<\/p>\n

Moylan added: \u2018I\u2019ve said it many times in the past, this club, when I came three years ago now, everything was run properly and you knew off the pitch everything was set up for something like this to happen.<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019ve got an unbelievable staff and an unbelievable bunch of players. It\u2019s not luck.<\/p>\n

\u2018Sometimes we pinch ourselves, but this is what you sacrifice your whole life for, coming over here, lads giving up everything.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite the disappointment of not making the World Cup, this month\u2019s Ireland camp still offers something for fans…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":427954,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,43],"class_list":["post-427953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=427953"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427953\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/427954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=427953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=427953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=427953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
