Northern Ireland national team manager Michael O'Neill believes Jonny Evans is relieved his club future has now been sorted.

The 27-year-old centre-back completed his £6million move from Manchester United to West Bromwich Albion late in the summer transfer window and according to O'Neill, he is already in a better place after plenty of uncertainty at Old Trafford.

Evans received a lengthy ban for a tussle with Newcastle United's Papiss Cisse late last season but is now looking ahead to a new chapter at Albion says O'Neill.

"He's delighted that it's been resolved," said O'Neill ahead of NI's Euro2016 qualifier against Faroe Islands in Torshavn on Friday.

"He's had no real experience of West Brom yet, he's not been in the door and he hasn' t trained or anything like that. But I think he's just glad that it was eventually settled.

"People made a lot of his club situation. It wasn't ideal, not playing football. I look back at the game against Finland and even more so the game against Romania where I thought he was outstanding.

"He came in and played in those games off the back of difficult situations because he had injury problems and he hadn't been playing at Manchester United because of suspension problems.

"I think he's in a better place now before leading into those games, and he still gave us two outstanding performances so I have no concerns with him at all."
