Shane O'Neill Goes the 90 in a 1-0 Win for Sheffield
November 18, 2014 - Major League Soccer (MLS)
Colorado Rapids News Release
Colorado Rapids' central defender, Shane O'Neill, played in a friendly fixture on Tuesday for Sheffield Wednesday's U21s, as he continues his training stint at the English Championship club.
O'Neill went the full 90 minutes in a 1-0 win over Middlesbrough. The Boulder native returned to England having trained last year with Fulham, which at that time was in the English Premier League.
The 21-year-old is due to be in England until December 4.
O'Neill was also the topic of conversation on Monday involving USMNT head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. The talented defender has represented the USA at age-group level, and was called to the senior side's training camp in January, but - as he is yet to feature for the full senior side in a competitive match - he could still opt to play for the nation of his birth, Ireland.
Jurgen asked if Shane O'Neill is in his plans. "Yes, he's in our plans." When reminded O'Neill is Irish-born, JK "Yes, but he'll go with us"
