"It's an honour to captain Northern Ireland," Hume expressed ahead of the Nations League opener, highlighting the significance of the moment in his young career.
O'Neill acknowledged Hume's rapid rise since joining Sunderland, calling the captaincy a well-deserved reward for his impressive performances at club and country.
Hume reflected on the fast process of his transition from Linfield to international captain, emphasizing his hope that the captaincy won't affect his gameplay.
