West Ham striker Callum Marshall delighted after winning Northern Ireland debut

West Ham striker Callum Marshall is delighted to have made his Northern Ireland debut.

Marshall featured in the 3-0 win against San Marino.

“I haven't experienced something on that level before," he told whufc.com. “It's all very new to me.

“We went a couple of goals up in the first half so I knew there would be a pretty good chance of us making changes. And I knew when he [Michael O'Neill] told me around the 55th minute I'd be coming on around the 60th minute, I just had to get myself ready.

"[When I came on] I felt nervous, but it was a nice atmosphere to come on to. I had a few nice touches and hopefully showed a bit of what I can do.

“When I was warming up, I was smiling at my Aunty and Uncle and cousins. My Mum and Dad were around the other side. They were all saying well done to me after the game."
