Simone Magill has made a long-awaited return to the Northern Ireland squad, it was announced on Wednesday.

The Aston Villa forward last featured for the Green and White Army during the 2022 UEFA Women's Euros before suffering an agonising ACL rupture in the team's first group stage game.

And 356 days after that fateful evening in Southampton, Magill was back in the fold.

Simone will be hoping to feature in a pair of friendlies for her country during the upcoming break.

Northern Ireland will come up against Rachel Corsie and Scotland before taking on Czechia in the second of the double-header.

Congratulations, Si!
