INTERNATIONAL NEWS: Smith misses out on Euros

Peterborough United full-back Michael Smith has missed out on a place in Northern Ireland's squad for the 2016 Euros in France this summer.

The writing was on the wall for the 27-year-old right-back when he didn’t feature in last night’s (May 27) 3-0 friendly win over Belarus. Former Posh striker Conor Washington scored in that game and has made the Euros squad.
