Ireland Head Coach Mark Aston has called upon Belfast born Matty Hadden to join the Ireland squad for the Rugby League World Cup.<\/p>\n

Following the withdrawal of Warrington\u2019s Simon Grix from the squad Hadden linked up with the squad yesterday for his first training session at the UCLAN Sports Arena in Preston.<\/p>\n

The Oxford prop made his debut under Aston in last season\u2019s victory over Scotland and picked up a second cap against England Knights in his hometown.<\/p>\n

Following a successful first season in Championship 1 Hadden had just missed out on the 24 man squad when it was named a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the addition to his squad Mark Aston had high praise for the former Antrim Eels man \u201cHe\u2019s a top young man who has certainly progressed over the last twelve months.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe works hard and is an uncompromising sort of prop forward and I\u2019m sure for his personal development this will be massive for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hadden will now be looking to impress Aston further ahead of Ireland\u2019s opening game against Fiji which takes place in Rochdale on Monday 28th of October. <\/p>\n
