Manager Jim Crawford delighted that senior international striker accepted his invitation

“In that interview a number of weeks ago he showed a level of maturity, he seemed remorseful with regards to how he behaved, whether it was at Brighton or what have you. It was something that got me thinking. I got somebody involved in the process to link in with him and just ask if he would be interested to play with the 21s. The answer I got back was ‘yeah, certainly’. He wants to put on a green shirt again. That was a fantastic start.

“He can score goals, he’s a real threat, so to have him with the 21s for this game is great. For himself, it’s a chance to show people that he is still around and that he can produce in big games. And that’s what this playoff is, it’s a fantastic stage for him to be involved in.” “You are always interested in the best players that you can get into your squad. We have a small pool of players, we’re a small country, so we can’t neglect players of that talent and ability and cast them aside.
