We are still waiting for Harry Arter to make his Republic of Ireland full international debut, but surely he is in-line to get some minutes on Saturday against Austria, if only Martin O'Neill gives him a few minutes to ensure he becomes a full international player for the Irish. There is no doubt that Harry wants to play for the Republic and he will be a great inspiration to others if he finally gets that much deserved cap, which has been earned the hard way.
From non-league Woking and the lower league divisions, Harry Arter has learnt his craft and is now looking like a player that can make a huge impact on any game. For AFCB he has become an automatic choice and I can see him soon doing the same in his international side. Injuries have always prevented him from really getting a run in Martin O'Neill's squad and to miss out on the Euros last summer must have been tough for the gutsy midfielder.
I can see him using that disappointment though to become a real leader for his country on the pitch. If he can stamp his place in the team he will surely have many years yet at international level and while Arter has not been a player that has been seen as captain material at AFCB yet, he may well become a captain in the future. Yes, he needs to curb some of his verbal misdemeanours and he has become a player that has been less in trouble as he has climbed the leagues with Bournemouth, so one day he might well be seen more as a motivational leader. To be honest, I would not be surprised if Arter achieved all he wants an more in the game as he knows that by working at it he improves and the international level will just be another challenge for him.
From watching Harry build his career over many seasons at AFCB, the fans there know he is more than ready to play for the Republic in a competitive match. It is a big thing missing from his CV which should be there by now, and so I'll be tuning in to see if he is given that honour against Austria tonight.
A win of course could take the Republic to the top of group D which would be a fantastic achievement with Wales and Serbia also in that World Cup Qualifying group.
