Conor McMenamin called into NI squad for Nations League quadruple header

McMenamin is one of four new faces in the 28-strong panel named by Ian Baraclough.

The 26-year-old, who is coming off the back of an impressive season with the Glens, has not played previously for Northern Ireland at any level but impressed after being called up to the senior squad for a four-day training camp in England last week.

Also in the panel for the first time are Manchester City defender/midfielder Shea Charles and Huddersfield Town defender Brodie Spencer. Charles has previously been involved with the U17s, U19s and U21s, while Spencer has played for Northern Ireland’s U17s and U19s.

And Rangers midfielder Charlie McCann, who only made his bow for Northern Ireland when turning out for the U21s back in March, has received a first senior call-up, too.

Coming back into the fold after a period of absence are Kilmarnock striker Kyle Lafferty, Charlton Athletic forward Conor Washington and St Mirren goalkeeper Trevor Carson.

Midfielder Alfie McCalmont, who spent the season on loan at Morecambe but is now back with parent club Leeds United, returns to the senior panel after playing for the U21s in several games over the course of the season.

Liverpool full-back Conor Bradley, who missed the March matches against Luxembourg and Hungary through injury, is back as well for the quadruple header.

Middlesbrough midfielder Caolan Boyd-Munce, a late call-up to the squad in the spring, retains his place along with Sunderland defender Trai Hume.

Fleetwood Town defender/midfielder Paddy Lane, who was named EFL League One Young Player of the Year and his club’s Player of the Year earlier this month, also keeps his place after making his debut - against Hungary - during his first taste of the senior set-up back in March.
