The veteran defender and enigmatic midfielder have been named by Michael O'Neill in a 28-man party for a friendly against Qatar at Crewe's Gresty Road on May 31 (5pm) and the Euro 2016 qualifier against Romania at Windsor Park, Belfast, on June 13 (7.45pm).

Northern Ireland are also playing the Republic of Ireland in a training match behind closed doors at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on June 4.

Hughes and McCourt were among the players released by Albion at the end of the season.
