Karl Robinson has spoken of his delight for Ben Reeves after the midfielder made his international debut for Northern Ireland on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old, an unused substitute in Northern Ireland’s victory over the Faroe Islands on Saturday, replaced Shane Ferguson in the 78th minute and helped his side see out the 2-0 success in Greece.
“I spoke to a very excited Reevsy yesterday,” Robinson told the media. “I also called him on Tuesday to wish him luck and to tell him to enjoy it.
“His debut didn’t come against a minnow either, Greece are a big footballing national and there was a full house, which was great for him and shows the trust Michael O’Neill has in him.
“I’m so happy for him.”
