Grigg and Washington make Northern Ireland's final Euro 2016 squad

The Wigan forward has beaten Liam Boyce to a place in Michael O'Neill's summer squad, while veteran Aaron Hughes has also been included

Wigan Athletic striker Will Grigg has been named in Northern Ireland's final 23-man squad for Euro 2016.

Liam Boyce, Billy McKay, Daniel Lafferty, Michael Smith and Ben Reeves have all been cut by Michael O'Neill, the Irish Football Association announced on Saturday.

Grigg, who scored 25 goals as Wigan claimed the League One title this season, opened his international account in Friday's 3-0 friendly victory over Belarus. QPR striker Conor Washington, who scored his second goal in three appearances in that win, has also made the squad.
