Ex-Billericay Town favourite Roy Essandoh is on the verge of an international call up for Northern Ireland.

The 28-year-old, who impressed at New Lodge before joining Grays, has been placed on standby by his former Wycombe Wanderers boss Lawrie Sanchez for the World Cup qualifier with Austria .

"He has scored five goals in his last eight games for Gravesend and is a big strong front man," said Sanchez.

"He could come into the squad."
