David Harrington: Wales call up Fleetwood goalkeeper for Nations League

J.Wright25 min ago
Goalkeeper David Harrington has been added to Craig Bellamyâ€TMs squad for Walesâ€TM upcoming Nations League matches against Turkey and Iceland.

The Fleetwood Town youngster, 24, was born in Cork, Republic of Ireland but qualifies to represent Wales through his Bangor-born father, Phil Harrington, who was also a goalkeeper.

He has been a part of Irelandâ€TMs Under-21s set-up and earned his first call-up to their senior side for friendly matches against Hungary and Portugal in June and was an unused substitute in both games.

But he will now link-up with the Wales squad for Bellamyâ€TMs third camp as international boss.

Harrington had been linked with a switch to Premier League Everton, but moved to Fleetwood from Cork City in January 2023.

He is currently working under former Wales international Owain Fà ́n Williams â€" who is goalkeeper coach with the League Two side.

Harrington has featured 14 times in all competitions for Charlie Adamâ€TMs side so far this season.

He joins Danny Ward, Karl Darlow and Tom King in the squad for Walesâ€TM final two Nations League fixtures of the year.

Bellamyâ€TMs side take on Turkey in Kayseri on 16 November (17:00 GMT).

They then host Iceland at Cardiff City Stadium three days later (19:45 GMT).
