Full-back Kyle Naughton (currently on loan from Tottenham Hotspur) has been selected for the England Under 21 squad for the side's European Championship qualifier against group leaders Greece.
Naughton has six previous caps to his name at this level and is a regular member of Stuart Pearce's Under 21 squad.
The youngster has impressed since joining Middlesbrough, he's pacey, he looks comfortable on the ball, and even has a mini Rory Delapp style throw tucked away in his locker!
England are currently second in Group Nine (behind the Greeks) anhd will be looking to restore the deficit as ten group winners and the four best runners-up go into the play-offs to battle it out for a place in the finals, held in Denmark in 2011.
The England Under 21s v Greece Under 21s match will take place at Doncaster's Keepmoat Stadium next Wednesday, March 3, kick off 6pm.
Tickets are still on sale and cost just £10 for adults and £5 for concessions (under 16 and over 60).
