Steven Davis has become the first senior Saints player to win a call-up ahead of the next batch of international fixtures.

The Northern Ireland skipper has been named in Michael O'Neill's squad for next week's Euro 2016 qualifier in Romania, in which he could come up against Saints teammate Florin Gardos.

O'Neill's men have made a stunning start to their Group F campaign with three straight wins including a 2-0 triumph in Greece last month.

Saints are expecting a raft of further call-ups in the coming days with Josh Sims already included in the England under-18 squad who face two games against Poland.
