Anthony Stokes has been included in the Republic of Ireland Under 21's squad for a post-season tournament in Malaysia.

Stokes is a part of the squad that will play Nigeria, Iraq and hosts Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur between May 15 and May 21.

The 19 year old's inclusion in the squad will most likely see him play a little more football than he's been used to with Sunderland this season, making nine starts and two substitute appearances in a season that's seen him hit the back of the net just once - albeit with a late winner against Derby back in December.
