Crystal Palace's Justin Devenny said he relished the challenge of playing a new position for Northern Ireland in their 2-1 friendly defeat by Denmark on Saturday.
The game in Copenhagen saw manager Michael O'Neill pick the 21-year-old to start at wing-back for the first time at international level.
Devenny, who won the FA Cup with Oliver Glasner's side this season, performed admirably throughout, creating Northern Ireland's early goal while also managing the threat posed by Lazio's Gustav Isaksen.
"It was a new position for me but I enjoyed it and wherever I play for the team I'm willing to do a shift," he said of what was his fourth cap.
"Michael had told me he was thinking of playing me there and we did a few bits and bobs in training. To be fair, I'm familiar with it from Palace as well.
"I know the roles and responsibilities of it and it's just putting that into place."
O'Neill has previously played the right-footed Brodie Spencer on the left side of his backline with the Huddersfield Town man performing well in recent internationals.
The manager thought that Devenny's comfort on the ball gave his side a "nice outlet" at Parken Stadium.
"I thought he did really well," O'Neill said.
"He's got his hands full against a winger that obviously causes you a lot of problems. Justin's a midfield player but he's left-sided and I thought he dealt with it very, very well.
"He gave us a nice outlet on the left-hand side as well in terms of his use of the ball, so he was a big, big positive."
