Duffy, 17, who hails from Derry, was being courted by the Republic of Ireland last year, before re-committing himself to the north where he has played at all age levels. Worthington, who named the promising centre-half in his panel to face Italy on June 6, said: "When I heard (of the Republic's interest) I made sure I brought Shane into our Milk Cup squad last summer. I wanted to get to know him, work with him and encourage him. "In fairness to the lad, he had always been committed to Northern Ireland. He is a very talented player and I'm delighted to have him in this squad. He is only 17, but he is coming along very nicely at Everton." |
