Burke, who returned to Ireland last season after spells with Aston Villa, Shrewsbury Town and Notts County, has scored nine league goals this term, a tally that has only been matched by Dundalk striker Patrick Hoban.

Darragh Lenihan from Dunboyne remains in line to become the first player from Meath to be capped for the Republic of Ireland at senior global level when he was included in Martin O'Neill's squad for the series of forthcoming game against Celtic, France and the United States.

O'Neill believes Burke has improved as a player since his early days at boyhood club Aston Villa, where he failed to make a single Premier League appearance.

"It was his overall play and I think he did really fine in the game".

"He has nice ability", O'Neill said. Horgan and Andy Boyle were both called up for Ireland while with Dundalk prior to the duo moving to Preston North End.

Burke's club coach Stephen Bradley had this to say about the call up. "He has shown that he can score goals from just about anywhere and he contributes so much to the team".

O'Neill recognises that it's going to be a big step-up from Airtricity League action to International Football for Burke.

Republic manager Martin O'Neill has made space in his squad for three players, Matt Doherty, Declan Rice and Scott Hogan, who made their debuts in the 1-0 friendly defeat by Turkey on 23 March.

Robbie Brady (knee), James McCarthy (broken leg), Jonny Hayes (ankle) and Aiden McGeady (ankle) all miss out due to injury but Burnley forward Jon Walters is available for selection once again.

Some players will drop out of the squad after the Celtic game on 20 may, while others will only report into camp ahead of the trip to Paris to take on France in Stade de France on 28 May and the home game against the U.S. five days later.

SHAMROCK ROVERS MANAGER Stephen Bradley has expressed his delight over Graham Burke's global recognition.

John O'Shea is to retire from global football after the games.
