Kyle in Northern Ireland squad

There was certainly no surprise with this selection, Kyle is very much a regular in the Northern Ireland squads now and the only time he was missing was during a suspension following two yellow cards during the European qualifying campaign.

He's already won fifteen caps since his debut as a substitute in a friendly against Uruguay in New Jersey at the end of the 2005/06 season, and he's netted three times including two in the qualifying campaign against Liechtenstein and Sweden.

This latest game against Georgia will be played next Wednesday 26^th March at Windsor Park, Belfast.

The full squad is: Maik Taylor (Birmingham), Roy Carroll (Derby), Alan Mannus (Linfield), Chris Baird (Fulham), Aaron Hughes (Fulham), Stephen Craigan (Motherwell), Gareth McAuley (Leicester), George McCartney (West Ham), Jonny Evans (Manchester United - on loan at RK Sunderland), Steven Davis (Fulham - on loan at Rangers), Damien Johnson (Birmingham), Sammy Clingan (Nottingham Forest), Chris Brunt (West Brom), Keith Gillespie (Sheffield United), Michael O'Connor (Crewe), Stuart Elliott (Hull - on loan at Doncaster), Michael Gault (Linfield), David Healy (Fulham), Kyle Lafferty (Burnley), Martin Paterson (Scunthorpe), Peter Thompson (Linfield), Warren Feeney (Cardiff).
