QPR attacker Paul Smyth has been called-up to the Northern Ireland senior squad for the second time.

Smyth made his debut for the Irish in March this year, coming off the bench to score in a 2-1 win at Windsor Park against South Korea.

However, he returned to the Under-21 side for the remainder of their Euro 2019 Championship qualifying campaign as they narrowly missed out on making the finals.

The 21-year-old though has now returned to Michael O’Neill’s squad for the Irish’s doubleheader of fixtures this month.

Northern Ireland faces the Republic of Ireland in a friendly whilst also taking on Austria in their UEFA Nations League fixture.

The match against the Republic, on Thursday, 15th November in Dublin, will see Smyth potentially face his QPR teammate Ryan Manning who yesterday received his first senior international call-up.

Northern Ireland will then host Austria in Belfast on Sunday, 18th November.
