Leeds midfielder McCalmont impressing for Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland coach Ian Baraclough sung the praises of Leeds United midfielder Alfie McCalmont after victory over Estonia.

The 21-year-old is currently on his second season away from Elland Road as he follows up last season's successful stint at Oldham with a step up to League One Morecambe.

He is also making strides on the international scene and impressed in the 1-0 friendly win in Tallinn, earning praise from Baraclough.

"He's a little terrier," the Northern Ireland boss said following the victory.

"He loves breaking the play up and looks to just pass it simple. When he keeps it simple he makes the game look very easy and he does very well. He'll gain on that experience and I thought he was good tonight."
