Mason, Wade and McKenna all celebrated success with their clubs in recent weeks [Getty Images] With silverware fresh in their hands, many of the Northern Ireland players will arrive for international duty with confidence that only success brings. In recent weeks, 10 members of Michael McArdle's 23-player strong squad have either won league titles or secured promotion with their clubs. Now, they will aim to transfer that success to the international stage as Northern Ireland look to build momentum. NI have already secured a World Cup play-off spot with two games to go in League B Group 2, but there is still plenty at stake against Turkey and Switzerland. 'Players coming into camp on a high, it'll be great for us' - McArdle Northern Ireland come into this window buoyed by two positive results against Malta in April. However, with several players involved in title triumphs and moments that will live long in the memory, McArdle's side will come into this window with even greater belief. Rebecca McKenna, Rebecca Holloway and Simone Magill, who missed most of the season through pregnancy but has since given birth, won promotion to the Women's Super League [WSL] with Birmingham City, while Ellie Mason was part of the Charlton Athletic squad who were the victors in the play-off to book a spot in the WSL At Hearts, Joely Andrews, Lauren Wade and Kerry Halliday, who spent the second half of the season on loan at Motherwell, won the Scottish Premiership title for the first time in the club's history. Burnley secure promotion to Women's Super League 2 after an unbeaten league season with Brenna McPartlan, Danielle Maxwell and Louise McDaniel picking up a winner's medal. Plenty of the players based in Northern Ireland have enjoyed recent success as well. Nadene Caldwell, Aimee Kerr and Mia Moore were all part of the Glentoran squad who lifted the Women's Premiership trophy last season and have recently begun their defence of the title. McArdle believes that the squad's success at club level can have a positive impact when they pull on a green shirt for Northern Ireland. "We've got some very high-confident players coming into camp with their achievements throughout the season. So, it's great for them individually," McArdle continued. "For some players, that promotion to WSL or WSL 2 or wherever they go in their own individual journey, that could be great for them at that point in time, for others, it might not be what they need. "So, it's really just the individual context. But certainly, with those players coming into camp on a high, it'll be great for us." 'It is nice to have that positivity and wind behind us' - Wade Wade has made 53 appearances for Northern Ireland [Getty Images] Forward Lauren Wade was part of the Northern Ireland squad who made history at the Euros in 2022. Now, at club level, she helped Hearts win their first league title and secure European football. "It was an amazing feeling what has happened with Hearts and now coming into an international window, it is nice to have that positivity and wind behind us," Wade told BBC Sport NI. "You quickly have to shift that mentality, and it is all about international football." Wade believes that the "spirits will be high" ahead of the final two group games, when NI travel to face Turkey before hosting group leaders Switzerland. There is plenty on the line for the side, who know they must register positive results to avoid relegation to League C of the Nations League and will be aiming to leapfrog Friday's opponents and finish in second spot. "It is brilliant to see what the girls are doing on the club stage and to have a few league titles and promotion," Wade continued. "It is really good so we can only bring that into this camp and go off the previous camp as well and getting two wins against Malta, so the spirits will be high. "We are wanting to be on the front foot and get two positive results as that is ultimately what we need."
