Shane Duffy, the talented teenage Everton centre-half, has decided that his international future lies with Giovanni Trapattoni's Ireland rather than the North.

The Derry born defender rose to prominence with the 'Toffees' this season when making two appearances for Everton in the Europa League against BATE Borisov and AEK Athens.
