Trai Hume has been handed his first call-up to the Northern Ireland senior squad. The young Sunderand defender has been included in Ian Baraclough's 25-man squad for the friendlies against Luxembourg and Hungary later this month.
Black Cats' midfielder, and Northern Ireland regular, Corry Evans is also in the squad. But for Hume it is his first inclusion in the senior squad, having previously represented his country at U17, U18, U19, and U21 levels.
Hume, who turns 20 on Friday, joined Sunderland from Irish League side Linfield in January. The right-back made his Sunderland debut in the defeat at Cheltenham in early February, and also played in Alex Neil's first game in charge of the Black Cats which ended in a 1-1 draw at AFC Wimbledon last month.
