Head coach Jesse Sazant has named his initial squad of 32 players for the England U15 Boys National Development Program this season.
Following the U15 and U13 Regional Development Tournaments the players have been selected and invited to a camp in Leeds on November 24 and 25.
“I have been really pleased with the standard of players and body types at both the U15 and U13 Regional Development Tournaments,” Sazant commented. ” I am looking forward to getting this group of players together to start their development as potential international players. We will also be inviting a larger group of 1999 born players identified through the U13 RDT and RPCs later in the season.”
Head of Performance Warwick Cann added: “This year’s group has good potential, but a lot of hard work in front of them to develop their skills to an international Division A standard.”
The squad is as follows:
