Jack Taylor Seeks First Ireland Cap

Jack Taylor, the Ipswich Town midfielder, is aiming to earn his first senior cap for the Republic of Ireland during the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Finland and Greece. At 26, Taylor has been included in the national squad after a lengthy absence of 18 months, having previously made his mark in the under-21 team and receiving his first senior call-up in 2020. He expressed his disappointment at not being selected in the past but is delighted to be recognized once again, especially after impressing the new manager Heimir Hallgrimsson during his recent performances in the Premier League. Taylor hopes to contribute positively to the team’s midfield, which has struggled in recent years, stating that he aims to bring a different dynamic to the squad. He acknowledges the competition within the squad, which also features three other Ipswich players, and emphasizes the need for a good performance to secure a win.
