Republic of Ireland midfielder Robbie Brady has claimed that helping his country qualify for Euro 2016 is the "best moment" of his career.

The Irish booked their spot at next summer's European Championship in France by claiming a 2-0 victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina in their playoff tie this evening to seal a 3-1 aggregate triumph.

"The fact we're going to the Euro 2016 is unbelievable, I'm still in shock, it's the sort of thing you dream about," BBC Sport quotes Brady as saying.

"Getting into the playoffs, drawing away and coming back here to qualify is what we would taken before and we did it today. Everyone involved was excellent and now we're off to France.

"My set pieces were dire before the one which set up Jonathan Walters's second but he stuck with it and he put that one away. I'm ecstatic. We never seem to do things the easy way, when things got tough, we stuck together and ground out those results. Tonight is the best moment of my career."

The group stage draw for Euro 2016 will take place in Paris on December 12.
