Town striker Alan Lee says he is hoping to get a recall to the Republic of Ireland squad but for now Town is his first priority.

Lee has got ten caps for the Republic but he was left out towards the end of Steve Staunton's time in charge and now Staunton is gone Lee is hoping to get more games.

Lee: "It is a huge honour playing for my country but I want to be starting and not just going as a makeweight.

"The international breaks have been good for me and not being involved allows me time to work on fitness and finishing.

"Ipswich is my No.1 priority in getting to the Premiership and it doesn't benefit me going away for two weeks spending time in a hotel room to play five minutes, if I play at all.

"In the last international there were a lot of crosses going in and I have been working on my heading and scoring from crosses, so I was thinking how I would like to have been there to take those opportunities."
