Former England U21 keeper called up to Northern Ireland squad

Nottingham Forest's former England U21 keeper Lee Camp has been called up to the Northern Ireland squad for the first time. The 26 year old, who was born in Derby but qualifies for Northern Ireland through his grandfather, was cleared by FIFA for selection last month.

The stopper replaces Linfield's Alan Blayney in the 23-man squad to for the Euro 2012 qualifiers against Serbia and Slovenia on March 25 and 29 and the Forest keeper could now be pushing for a starting place with Inverness' Jonathan Tuffey.
