With the shot-stopper being the only player from the club to achieve such a feat, Swindon returned with another tweet.

"He stuck with us back in the summer, and now he's off to a World Cup. Freaking amazing. Our guy," read a second tweet.

Wollacott's save in the first leg from a Moses Simon strike was decisive in the tie, before a series of outstanding stops in Abuja helped Ghana qualify.

"The Reds will now have a player represent them at the World Cup later this year. Wollacott was brilliant against Nigeria, making some key saves and he is likely to be the first choice for Ghana at the World Cup after establishing himself for his country," wrote the club on their official website.
