CURTIS DAVIES is in line for his first-ever international cap at the age of 38 \u2014 15 years after making the England squad.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Davies, 38, is a Premier League cult hero following top flight spells with West Brom, Aston Villa, Birmingham and Hull.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The centre-back spent the last six seasons playing at Derby.<\/p>\n

And he now plies his trade for League One outfit Cheltenham Town.<\/p>\n

Despite his impressive club record, Davies was never capped by England.<\/p>\n

He received two call-ups to Fabio Capello\u2019s squad in 2008, having previously played three times for the U21s.<\/p>\n

Davies will be hoping to feature in friendlies against Benin and Somalia.<\/p>\n

Davies tweeted: \u201cI\u2019m delighted to formally announce that I will be joining the Sierra Leone national team for their upcoming friendlies.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought the opportunity to represent the country of my father\u2019s birth had passed but I feel very proud and humbled to have received the call.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be a proud moment for me to pull on the shirt of The Leone Stars and make my family in Sierra Leone proud but most of all my dad.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe did everything in his power to give me the best chance to become a footballer, so I dedicate this all to him.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking forward to getting going.\u201d<\/p>\n
