​EURO2016: Veteran Hughes fancies continuing Northern Ireland career

Aaron Hughes, Northern Ireland's most capped outfield player, hinted he could extend his international career after the incredible experience of Euro 2016.

The 36-year-old, who is currently without a club following a brief spell with Melbourne City, was widely tipped to call time on his international career following the last-16 exit to Wales.

"I'll wait to see what happens in terms of club football and the options I have, I'm really not sure," said Hughes.

"If the right option is there and I can still compete I'd certainly look to carry on if I can.

"I'm a free agent but I was just looking to enjoy this experience, immerse myself in the competition. Now that it's over I'll have a look."
