Simeon Gets Canada Call
Gills striker Simeon Jackson has been called up to the Canada squad to face Poland and Macedonia next week.
The 22-year-old, who has 11 goals this season, will miss the game with Oldham next Saturday after being named in the squad by interim coach Stephen Hart.
Jackson's call-up is of little surprise, with him having impressed for his country during the summer.
He scored on his debut against Cyprus and then went on to feature as they reached the quarter-finals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, and has a total of six caps to his name.
Hart told Canada Soccer: 'These two matches provide an excellent opportunity to bring our European based players together.
'Playing quality European opposition at their home fields is a challenge I am sure the players will look forward to.'
Jackson is joined in the squad by two former Gills loanees - goalkeeper Lars Hirschfeld had a brief spell in Kent from Spurs in 2004, while Ipswich winger Jaime Peters had a month with the Gills last season.
Full squad: Lars Hirschfeld (Energie Cottbus), Josh Wagenaar (Falkirk), Mike Klukowski (Club Brugge), Kevin McKenna(FC Köln), Paul Stalteri (Borussia Mönchengladbach), Richard Hastings (Hamilton), Dejan Jakovic (DC United), Julian de Guzman (Toronto FC), Atiba Hutchinson (F.C. Copenhagen), Patrice Bernier (FC Nordsjælland), Iain Hume (Barnsley), Marcel de Jong (Roda JC), Jaime Peters (Ipswich), Josh Simpson (Manisaspor), Simeon Jackson {Gillingham), Tomasz Radzinski (Lierse), Rob Friend (Borussia Mönchengladbach).
