The title-winning Clarets’ defender has been included in Martin O’Neill’s squad for the international friendly game at The Aviva Stadium on May 27. 

The Republic of Ireland will then name their final European Championship squad on May 28, prior to attending a training camp based in Cork.

A friendly against Belarus will complete their preparations ahead of the summer tournament in France. 

On behalf of Madders everywhere I wish Stephen all the very best. (TEC).
