Young midfielder Josh Cullen has earned his second England Under-16 call-up.
The 15-year-old from Wickford in Essex is in an 18-man selection for the Victory Shield match against Wales at Cheltenham. Cullen, who has been at West Ham United since the age of nine, has caught the eye after his impressive displays for the Hammers U16 squad this season under Paul Heffer.
The Young Lions began the Victory Shield campaign with a 3-1 victory against Northern Ireland earlier this month, when Cullen was an unused substitute, and will aim to build on that with the Northern Irish visit on Thursday 27 November. England have won the Victory Shield for the past eleven years.
Speaking to TheFA.com, Young Lions manager Kenny Swain said: "The Victory Shield is always good to have a look at emerging talent; we will hopefully be able to have a close look at up to 30 players and assess their performances."
"There is a real depth to this squad, and plenty of more quality players will come through at this level during the next two games. It is important that all players involved in the development camp get the experience of playing football for their country."
