Hughes passed the 100-cap mark for Northern Ireland at Euro 2016Former Northern Ireland captain Aaron Hughes has retired from football after his country's Euro 2020 qualifier win over Belarus. Hughes, who had been expected to retire after the international double header, was not in the matchday squad for the Belarus win. Hughes' haul of 112 caps leaves him seven him Northern Ireland's record holder Pat Jennings although skipper Davis, who earned his 109th against Belarus, is in line to overtake the goalkeeping legend. His last Northern Ireland appearances came in last summer's trip to Central America, where he played in friendlies against Panama and Costa Rica. The former Northern Ireland captain made his debut during Lawrie McMenemy's reign as manager in 1998 with his sole international goal coming against the Faroe Islands in 2011.
