"I have known Michael O'Neill for over 20 years since our days at Dundee United together and it will be great to work alongside him.
"I am excited by this opportunity to work with the squad as there are a lot of talented players from Northern Ireland and I am looking forward to our first game against Norway.""I am honoured to accept the Assistant Manager's position with Northern Ireland," McKinlay said on Fulham's website.
