Dundee defender Aaron Donnelly will join the Northern Ireland squad for a summer double-header after being called up by Michael O’Neill.
The 21-year-old is hoping to add to his debut cap when O’Neill’s side face friendlies against Iceland and Denmark.
Donnelly joined the Dark Blues on a three-year deal in January after impressing on loan last season and is expected to have a big future at Dens Park.
His aim of having a big international future has been boosted by another call-up for Northern Ireland as they prepare for World Cup qualifying in September.

A former captain of the U/21 side, Donnelly made his senior debut in a friendly against Andorra last June.
He will join up with the 26-man squad on June 3 before heading to Copenhagen to face Denmark on June 7.
They then head back to Northern Ireland for a home clash with Iceland at Windsor Park on June 10.
Also in the squad is former St Johnstone midfielder Ali McCann and ex-Dee goalie Conor Hazard.
