Ireland bid to lure Tiger Davies

Hull City defender Curtis Davies is being strongly courted to declare for the Republic of Ireland ahead of the Euro 2016 qualifiers.

The recently turned 29-year-old was bought by Martin O’Neill as Aston Villa manager and qualifies for the country through his grandparents.

Although Davies was critical of O’Neill after he was sacked by Villa, it hasn’t stopped the Derryman inquiring about the player’s international ambitions.
