Transitioning to a higher level of play, the 23-year-old embraces the chance to compete in the world's best league. With Northern Ireland kicking off their World Cup 2026 qualifiers, Hume is focused on the journey ahead. Facing Challenges and Looking Ahead

Hume expressed his excitement, "I’m really excited. I’m probably not looking forward to pre-season as much because it’s going to be that wee bit tougher but that’s part and parcel of it. I’ll have to work harder than I have before because I’m stepping up a level and playing in the best league in the world. It will be tough but I’m excited. It is a challenge I know me and my team-mates at Sunderland are looking forward to and hopefully we can get going.
