Ipswich midfileder Taylor expresses pride after making Republic of Ireland debut

He expressed how proud he and his family are to have finally achieved this milestone.

“I thought I did really well when I came on and I’m just delighted that I’ve finally put on the jersey and made my debut.

“It’s nice to represent that side of the family and I hope I get many more appearances.

“He brought me on behind the striker just to bring a bit of energy and running into the game. I’ve played that position many times before so it wasn’t alien to me, I really enjoyed it and I’m going to take that with me.

“If the boss (Kieran McKenna) puts me there then I’ll happily do everything I can. A part of my game is arriving into my box and trying to get on the end of things and it’s easier to do from that sort of position. I’m happy to play wherever the boss puts me.”
