Caragh Hamilton has been included in Northern Ireland's national squad for the Nations League matches, marking her return after recovering from a hamstring injury. She takes the place of Casey Howe, who remains sidelined. NI manager Tanya Oxtoby expressed her excitement for Hamilton's return and acknowledged the disappointment for Howe. The team, gearing up for their campaign, will face Poland and Bosnia-Herzegovina, with Hamilton's addition expected to boost squad versatility and maintain high standards amid preparations linked to World Cup qualifying.
"It's great to have her back she has worked really hard over the last few months to get herself back into contention," said NI boss Tanya Oxtoby.
"I'm gutted for Casey due to her injury, but Caragh is the ultimate professional, she is going to add a lot of versatility to the squad, but also keeps the standards nice and high."
"We're excited for the campaign, we know Poland first up, away, is going to be a great test for us, they are in great form with going to the Euros."
"Northern Ireland open their campaign, which is linked to 2027 World Cup qualifying, in Gdansk on 21 February before facing Bosnia-Herzegovina."
