Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill has expressed optimism about forward Jamie Donley's potential after his recent call-up to the national team for upcoming friendlies against Switzerland and Sweden. Following FIFA's approval to switch his allegiance from England, Donley, who previously represented Northern Ireland at youth levels, is being heralded as a player with a promising international future. Despite missing several regular players due to injuries, O'Neill emphasizes the opportunity for younger talents to shine in forthcoming matches.
We're delighted to get Jamie. He was part of the England under-age set-up, although he was born here in Antrim in Northern Ireland and his dad is from Antrim.
Conor's always a loss, he brings great energy to the team. He's already captained the team at a young age and our team will always be stronger with Conor available.
