West Brom boss Tony Mowbray is happy to see Dean Kiely end his international exile with the Republic of Ireland.

"I had a few conversations with Dean and a few with Liam Brady and I think it's good for Dean at this stage of his career to get back involved," Mowbray told the Birmingham Mail.

"It keeps him going through the summer and keeps him focussed and motivated.

"I watched the game the other night and it was a big occasion for him at Croke Park."
