He's taking part in a training camp in Dublin.

Graiguecullen and Knockbeg College student Aaron Culleton received a very special honour this week when he captained the Ireland U-15 side in a development game.

The 29 man squad are taking part in a four day camp including two behind closed door friendlies.

One of those came against Bohemians and Aaron was handed the captain's armband.

Head Coach Jason Donohue is holding the camp ahead of an international double-header in September which will be the first international action for an U15 side since February 2020.

Huge congrats to Aaron Culleton who was given the honour of captaining the @FAIreland U15 soccer team in a practice game vs St. Kevin's yesterday in Dublin. Aaron also received our 1st Year Achievement Award for his excellent academic results back in May. What an all-rounder! pic.twitter.com/spA6t68GQ8
