Lewis earns first NI call-up in more than a year

Preston North End left-back Jamal Lewis has been called into the Northern Ireland squad for the first time in more than a year.

The 27-year-old, who joined Preston on a short-term deal until the end of December, has won 39 international caps.

The last of those came as in a 1-0 Nations League loss against Bulgaria in October 2024.

Having begun his career at Norwich City, where he made 100 appearances, Lewis joined Newcastle and had spells on loan with Watford and Brazilian side Sao Paulo during his time on Tyneside.

Lewis has made three appearances for Preston since arriving at the end of October, with his first start coming in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Millwall.
