Uncapped Aston Villa striker Scott Hogan has been named in the Republic of Ireland squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Moldova and Wales.
English-born Hogan, 25, has been linked with the Republic for some time and has now officially declared for the Irish.
Hogan fills the gap left by the absence of Burnley forward Jonathan Walters who is ruled out by a knee injury.
"Scott has got the paperwork through and he is available to us," said Republic boss Martin O'Neill.
With James McClean and Robbie Brady suspended for the 6 October home game against Moldova, Millwall forward Aiden O'Brien also receives a first call-up.
James McCarthy, Wes Hoolahan, Harry Arter and Keiren Westwood are all included despite being injury concerns.
Walters' Burnley team-mate Jeff Hendrick returns after missing the game against Georgia and Serbia earlier this month.
The defeat by the Serbs dropped the Irish to third place in Group D and they will need to beat Moldova and earn an away win over Wales three days later to keep alive any hopes of qualification.
