DON'T FORGET 'PLAYER OF YEAR' DUFFY

DERRY CITY boss Tiernan Lynch reckons Michael Duffy is “100 percent” the best player in the League of Ireland this year.

- BY MARK McCADDEN

And he believes the 31-year-old deserves to be rewarded for his ability with an Ireland call-up.

Duffy (left), capped by Northern Ireland up to under-21 level and also the Republic at under-18s, received a senior Northern Ireland call under Michael O'Neill in 2016 while at Celtic.

He was never capped at the highest level and in 2018, in the middle of a dazzling spell at Dundalk, he spoke of his desire to line out for Ireland.
