Aaron Hughes named in Northern Ireland squad

Aaron Hughes comes out of international retirement to take his place in Michael O'Neill's first Northern Ireland squad.

Fulham defender Aaron Hughes has been named in Michael O'Neill's first squad as manager of Northern Ireland.

Hughes retired from international football last year following Ireland's failure to qualify for Euro 2012.

However, the 32-year-old revealed this weekend that O'Neill had convinced him to pull on the green jersey once again when Ireland take on Norway next Wednesday.

O'Neill has also handed recalls to Burnley defender Michael Duff and Kilmarnock midfielder Dean Shiels.

Northern Ireland squad to face Norway:

Goalkeepers: L Camp, A Mannus, M McGovern

Defenders: J Evans, G McAuley, M Duff, S Ferguson R McGivern, A Hughes, L Hodson, C Cathcart

Midfielders: J Carson, S Davis, D Shiels, S Clingan, G McCann, C Evans, N McGinn, P McCourt

Strikers: D Healy, W Feeney, J McQuoid, J Ward, M Paterson.
