Biography:
A former England Under-21 goalkeeper, Lee Camp declared his interest in playing for Northern Ireland in September 2010 having become frustrated at his failure to break into the England senior squad. Eligible for Northern Ireland through his Belfast-born grandfather, the required FIFA clearance for changing countries was received the following February and he was called into the Northern Ireland squad for the first time for a Euro 2012 double-header against Serbia and Slovenia the following month. After much discussion as to whether he would go straight into the starting eleven, Nigel Worthington's decision was made easier as Maik Taylor withdrew from the squad due to an injury and Camp started in Belgrade.

Northern Ireland's regular number one through the last year of Nigel Worthington's management, Camp's position came under pressure when Roy Carroll returned to the squad. In September 2012, after finding himself relegated to the bench, he withdrew from the international squad for "personal reasons" and he has not returned since. His club career likewise suffered and in January 2013 he was released by new Forest manager Alex McLeish, moving on to Norwich City on a short-term deal.

Camp provided goalkeeping cover for the Canaries for the remainder of the 2012/13 season, making his Premier League debut as a substitute in a 1-1 draw at Sunderland following the sending-off of Mark Bunn. When Bunn returned from suspension and regular number one John Ruddy returned to fitness Camp found himself as third choice and his contract was not renewed at the end of the campaign.

Early in the following season he was given the opportunity to remain in the Premier League, again on a short-term contract, with West Brom who were suffering a goalkeeper shortage. He never made it beyond the bench at the Hawthorns and when the club's more established custodians returned to fitness Camp was allowed to go on loan to Bournemouth. After good form with the Cherries his deal was made permanent in the January 2014 transfer window. He played 13 time as Bournemouth claimed promotion to the Premier League for the first time, but having been displaced by Artur Boruc he was released early in that historic campaign and subsequently joined Rotherham.

Biography:
Josh Magennis claimed Northern Ireland Under-17 caps as a goalkeeper and featured on the bench for Cardiff before being converted to a forward. He made a handful of outfield appearances for the Bluebirds, earning a place in the Northern Ireland squad that traveled to the USA and Chile in the summer of 2010.

On his return from international duty, Magennis was released by Cardiff. He joined Aberdeen, but endured a difficult first season at Pittodrie and it seemed likely that he would again be released until Craig Brown decided to give him a run in the team at full-back late in the 2011/12 season. He remained with Aberdeen until 2014, earning a reputation as something of a jack-of-all-trades. For Northern Ireland he continued as a regular squad member, coming off the bench to add a bit of muscle in whatever position was required.

A 2014 move to Kilmarnock saw Magennis enjoy a sustained run in attack for the first time in his career, though he struggled to find the net on a regular basis, dividing opinion among fans. For Northern Ireland's successful Euro 2016 qualification campaign Michael O'Neill installed him as first choice back-up to Kyle Lafferty and he became a regular feature as a second-half substitute, with his presence notably aiding Northern Ireland to a late win over the Faroe Islands and an even later equaliser against Hungary in September 2015. The following month, with Kyle Lafferty suspended for the key qualifying match against Greece, Magennis started his first competitive match. His looping header that put Northern Ireland 2-0 up early in the second-half was greeted by emotional celebrations, essentially sealing the team's place in France and answering the critics who had questioned Magennis' place in the team.

2015/16 saw Magennis enjoy his best season in front of goal as he scored thirteen times for a struggling Kilmarnock side that only avoided relegation from the Premiership with a play-off victory over Falkirk. He traveled to Euro 2016 with the emergence of Conor Washington and the club-form of Will Grigg putting his position as first-choice back-up under threat. Magennis need not have worried as his unique attributes continued to be recognised as useful by Michael O'Neill.

Early in the 2016/17 season Magennis was the subject of several bids from English League One side Charlton and eventually a £250,000 fee was agreed.
