Republic of Ireland manager Sue Ronan has named a squad of 21 for the training camp in La Manga where the team will play Norway in a friendly on January 15th.

Puskas award-nominated Stephanie Roche will join up with the squad after her trip to Zurich on the 12th. Among those with the squad will be regulars like Niamh Fahey, Megan Campbell and Fiona O'Sullivan as well as Raheny's Lauren Dwyer and Katie McCabe, both of whom make the step up from the group that made the semi-finals of Under-19 European Championships.
