Carla Ward has handed Bohemians teenager Aoibhe Brennan her maiden senior call-up for the Republic of Ireland's World Cup qualifying double-header against Poland next month.
The Ireland head coach has named a 24-strong contingent for the games, with Jess Ziu and Lily Agg earning recalls.
The Girls in Green will face the Poles in Gdansk on 14 April before hosting their opponents at Aviva Stadium four days later.
With the Irish side having suffered narrow defeats to France and the Netherlands in their opening two qualifiers earlier this month, the games against Poland are now crucial in the battle to finish third in the group.
Ireland Under-19 international Brennan has been rewarded for an impressive start to the SSE Airtricity Women's Premier Division season, with Ward having watched the 18-year-old in action when Bohs defeated Cork City on 21 March.
Meanwhile, Agg and Ziu are back in the squad for the first time since 2024 and 2025, respectively, after overcoming long-term injuries.
