Northern Ireland defender Kieran Morrison says he hopes he has earned the trust of manager Michael O'Neill after an impressive first international start, the BBC reports.
Morrison's performance has been described as offering O'Neill a "different" option within the squad, suggesting he brings qualities that set him apart from other players currently available for selection.
Building on a strong start
The report did not detail the specific match in which Morrison made his first start, nor did it describe the exact qualities that have been highlighted as different about his play.
For Morrison, continued performances at this level would likely be needed to secure a more regular role in O'Neill's plans going forward.
The BBC's report did not indicate whether O'Neill has publicly commented on Morrison's prospects for retaining his place in the squad for upcoming fixtures.
