West Brom defender Gareth McAuley has decided to continue playing international football with Northern Ireland.

The 36-year old, who scored in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Everton, had been considering his future following Euro 2016.

He scored Northern Ireland's first ever European Championships goal in the 2-0 victory over Ukraine.

McAuley, who this year signed a one-year contract extension with Albion, also scored an own-goal in the last 16 defeat to Wales.
