Derby County striker Conor Washington has been selected for Northern Ireland

Derby County striker Conor Washington has been selected for the Northern Ireland team for the upcoming international break.

He’ll feature in the upcoming UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers that begin a week on Saturday.

Washington has been a solid part of the Northern Irish side since 2016 and manager Michael O’Neil has shown no reason as to why he wouldn’t keep selecting the 32-year-old.

He’s earnt 39 caps scoring six goals for Northern Ireland and will be eager to add to his tally.

The Northern Irish side currently sit fifth out of six in their qualifiying group and will be hoping for some points to push them up the table.

They face last placed San Marino on Saturday 14 October and then Slovenia on Tuesday 17 September.

So far this season, Washington has made five starts and appeared six times off the bench for the Rams scoring one goal which came in Derby’s 3-0 away win against Burton Albion on the second game of the season.
