HUDDERSFIELD Town's new signing Sean Scannell has been called up for Under 21 duty by the Republic of Ireland.

Town's newly-signed frontman is in the squad for the European Championship qualifier against Turkey at Sligo on Tuesday, August 14. That means he will miss Town's first competitive match of the season, the Capital One Cup first-round clash at Preston on Monday 13.

Former Crystal Palace man Scannell already has nine Under 21 caps and one at B level.
