Gleeson gets Irish call

Wolves' rookie midfielder Stephen Gleeson has some cheer to ease the play-off disappointment – an international call-up.

The Dubliner, 18, who has only made four substitute's appearances for Wolves, has been selected for the Republic of Ireland squad who tour the United States next week.

Coach Steve Staunton, who has already named 11 uncapped players, including Villa defender Stephen O'Halloran, takes his side to play Ecuador in New York on May 23 and Bolivia in Boston three days later.

Gleeson joins Wolves team-mates Darren Potter and Andy Keogh on the trip, but injured Stephen Ward is out.
