Crawley Town star misses out on top award
The Reds' striker was nominated alongside Portsmouth winger Ronan Curtis, the winner of the award, and Liverpool defender Corey Whelan.
The 22-year-old has made eleven appearances for the Irish under-21s since debuting in 2015 and scored all four of his international goals in the Republic's failed attempt to qualify for the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championships.

Grego-Cox has made 25 appearances in all competitions for the Red Devils this season but has yet to score for the club.
Speaking to crawleytownfc.com Grego-Cox said: “I really enjoyed playing for Ireland and it definitely improved me as a player. It was nice to get nominated for the award, a proud moment for me and my family.
“Now I want to kick on at Crawley and hopefully I can force my way into the full squad soon.”
