Jamal Lewis targets 'amazing' debut for Northern Ireland against South Korea

Northern Ireland defender Jamal Lewis says a Windsor Park debut in Saturday's friendly with South Korea would be a "real moment in my life".

The 20-year-old Norwich full-back received a first call-up for the game after scoring in the FA Cup replay defeat by Chelsea in January.

Lewis has played at youth level for NI but never at Windsor Park.

"My first time playing at Windsor Park would be amazing and hopefully I can show what I can do," he said.

He added: "I've proved at club level that I can be trusted but I've got to prove myself at international level.

"I've played for the U19s and U21s and after coming through the system it's a huge honour to be called into the senior squad."

Lewis scored a dramatic last-gasp equaliser for Norwich in the third-round replay at Stamford Bridge but the Championship side went out on penalties.

It was his first senior goal and Lewis is now hoping to make the headlines on the international stage.

"Everything has gone so quick since that game but it's the kind of thing you dream of as a young boy and I'm just enjoying it so much," added Lewis.

"It's now great to be training with the calibre of footballers in the Northern Ireland squad.

"To learn from players who have played in the Premier League and even the Champions League - it's brilliant."
