Academy forward Liam Millar has earned his first call-up to the senior Canada national squad.

The 18-year-old has consistently impressed this season at U18 and U23 level, as well as playing all seven games and scoring two goals to help the young Reds reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Youth League.

And the latest step in Millar’s progress arrived with his inclusion in a 22-man selection for the friendly with New Zealand on Saturday March 24.
