After previously forming part of the England U20s squad for the 2013 World Cup in Turkey, Alex Pritchard made the step into the Under-21s squad in August.
The Tottenham Hotspur schemer began the 2014-15 campaign on loan at Brentford, where his lively performances as an attacking midfielder caught the eye of Young Lions head coach Gareth Southgate.

He was duly called into the squad for the double-header in eastern Europe against Lithuania and Moldova.
His form in training with the squad saw him make two substitute appearances in both games as the Three Lions finished their Euro qualifying group with successive wins.
Pritchard was then included in the group which saw off Croatia in the play-offs to confirm their place in next summer's Finals in Czech Republic.
He finished the year with his first start for the Under-21s in November's game with France in Brest and can look back on 2014 as a breakthrough year for him,with the incentive of another appearance at a major tournament with England.
