Glentoran defender and academy graduate Jonny Russell has been named in the latest Northern Ireland U21 squad for a series of international friendlies later this month.

Northern Ireland U21s boss Tommy Wright has selected Russell as part of his squad for a mini tournament in Antalya, Turkey, where they will face Ukraine U20s, Uzbekistan U21s and Turkmenistan U21s between 17-26 March.

These fixtures will serve as key preparation ahead of the 2025-27 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying campaign.

Russell made his Northern Ireland U21 debut in March 2024 in a 2-1 victory over Serbia, before featuring as a substitute in a 0-0 draw against England.
