West Ham United goalkeeper Darren Randolph cannot wait to represent the Republic of Ireland at Euro2016.

The Irish have been drawn alongside Sweden, Belgium and Italy in Group E and will kickoff their campaign against the Swedes on 13 June, in what is expected to be an extremely difficult group to progress from.

However, Randolph is relishing the challenge that's ahead for he and his Irish colleagues.

Randolph told West Ham's official website: "It is a very tough group. But you want to go to these tournaments and play against the best teams.

"Of course you would prefer not to have play them all in the group stages but it will be a good test for us.

"We play Sweden in the first game and if we can come away with a good result then anything is possible after that. We should all be looking forward to it."
