Jamal Lewis is now back in a "good place" after nine months of injury agony at Newcastle United.
The full-back has already had a positive week after being named in Eddie Howe's 25-man squad for the first half of the Premier League and has now been called up by Northern Ireland as he bids to add to his 23 caps for his country in UEFA Nations League games at home to Kosovo and away to Greece.
Lewis was not included in the Newcastle squad last season for the second half of the campaign after picking up groin and hamstring injuries. But unlike Jeff Hendrick and Ciaran Clark, Lewis has stayed on at United and been handed another opportunity to impress.
