Mo Marley has named her England Women’s U19 team to compete in this year’s La Manga Tournament in March.

Seven of the squad helped the Three Lions finish runners-up to France at last year’s European Championship finals in Wales, while defensive duo Gabrielle George and Leah Williamson have made the step up from the U17s.

England will take on Republic of Ireland (on 8 March), France (10 March) and Italy (12 March) in the Spanish resort in preparation for April’s Euro qualifiers where Marley’s charges will face Finland, Denmark and Serbia.

England drew 4-4 with Norway at St. George’s Park last time out.
