The England C squad for next month’s International Challenge Trophy Final with Slovakia U21s has been named.
Manager Paul Fairclough has picked a 16-man squad for the game, which takes place on Wednesday 8 November.
The game will be staged at the Mestsky Stadion in Ziar Nad Hronom as the nations fight it out for the title.
And there are seven players in the squad who will be looking to make their England debut at C level in the shape of Blyth Spartans’ Dan Maguire, Grant Smith of Boreham Wood, former England U17 player Josh Rees of Bromley, Maidstone United pair Sam Barratt and Alex Wynter and Woking duo Joseph Ward and Josh Staunton.
England secured their place in the final after a 2-1 win over Estonia U23s in Tallinn last November secured second-spot in the group behind Slovakia, who will have home advantage in the final.
The sides last met in June 2016, when Slovakia edged a thrilling game at Sutton United’s Gander Green Lane by 4-3 to take control of the group.
The England C squad is selected of players aged U23 and playing for clubs outside of the English Football League, effectively England's non-League representative side.
