Lavery One of Four Back from Northern Ireland Duty for Norwich Clash
Academy quartet Caolan Lavery, Cormac Burke, Josh Carson and Rory McKeown are back from international duty with Northern Ireland’s U19s in Iceland and are in Town’s U18 squad for Saturday’s derby against Norwich at their Colney training ground (KO 11am). Lavery was with a Northern Ireland squad for the first time, having previously played for Canada.
The second-year scholar was born in Canada and represented them at U17 level prior to his move to Town in the summer of 2009. The striker qualifies for Northern Ireland, as well as the Republic, via his parents.
Lavery netted in Northern Ireland’s 5-2 win in their first game in Iceland with his side also victorious in the second, which ended 1-0.
Midfielder Carson netted twice last week as Town's U18s recorded their first victory of the season as Reading were seen off in a 4-3 thriller.
American keeper Cody Cropper, who was stretchered off late in that game, is expected to be OK to play this weekend.
