Andrew Omobamidele’s rise has been meteoric, regardless of metric. Still only 18, he made his senior debut with Norwich City in January and squeezed eight more games into the last two months of the campaign as the Canaries claimed promotion to the Premier League and a Championship title.

A Republic of Ireland U21 debut was ticked off in March and he now finds himself on the verge of a first senior cap having been pulled into Stephen Kenny’s orbit for the upcoming training camp and friendlies against Andorra and Hungary.
