Exeter City striker Jamie Reid says he is "buzzing" after making his international debut.

He came on as a substitute for Northern Ireland Under-21s in their Euro 2015 qualifying defeat against Cyprus.

The call-up capped an impressive few months for Reid, 18, who only made his full debut in League Two last month.

"I wasn't expecting to be in the squad, but I was called up and I was buzzing, I couldn't wait to get on the pitch," he told BBC South West Sport.

Reid came on with Northern Ireland 2-0 down, but says he relished the chance to play international football.

"It was a good experience, it was just sad that we couldn't get the result," he said.

"It was hard coming on at 2-0, but on a personal level it was good for me.

"We had a bit more time on the ball. It wasn't as pressing as in League Two, but it was a good standard and it certainly did test me," he added.
