IRELAND INTERNATIONALS DARREN Randolph and Aiden McGeady are among four Irish players who have been recognised for their fine performances at club level this season.
Randolph makes the Championship Team of the Season, after a series of outstanding displays in goal for promotion hopefuls Middlesbrough.
McGeady, meanwhile, features on the League One Team of the Year, having scored 11 goals in all competitions for Sunderland, who are currently fourth in the table.
Joining him in the team is Luton’s James Collins, who is the division’s top scorer and recently earned his first Ireland call-up thanks to his prolific form.
