Premier League Players Without International Caps

With the Premier League about to return, we've wondered what Irish players have appeared in the top division in England without going on to play international football.

Scott Fitzgerald made 69 appearances for Wimbledon in the Premier League - as many as the bottom 27 players in the final table made combined - and earned four caps for the Republic's U21 side, scoring once, but never played at a higher level than a B international against Denmark in 1992.

Only five players have scored in the Premier League, and not earned a senior international cap. Current Waterford FC chairman Lee Power scored six goals in the 1992/93 season, and played in the same B international in 1992, but also never earned a senior cap

Of the players who have yet to progress to the senior international side, only Michael Obafemi and Josh Cullen are currently registered with teams who will play in the Premier League in 2018/19.
