Hammers’ Trott gets Three Lions call

The West Ham production line keeps on churning out the talent with Nathan Trott the latest Hammer to earn an international call up.

The 18-year-old goalkeeper has been selected for England’s U19 squad for next month’s European Championships after impressing for West Ham’s U23s last season.

Trott was previously selected for England in March, to feature in the squad for the Elite Round qualifiers against Spain, Norway and Belarus – with three wins from three booking their spot at the tournament proper.

He has yet to play a match for the Three Lions, but is relishing the prospect of representing his country and will be ready whenever the manager sees fit to call upon him.

“It’s always a pleasure to represent England and it’s even more exciting to do so in a major tournament,” he said.

“I’ve had a great year and being selected in the Euros squad has made it even better. Hopefully I can impress the manager and get my first cap out there.

“It’s great to be a part of a team where you can achieve great things and hopefully we can add to that success this summer.

“All the success gives everyone in the other age groups confidence and it’s important we do well at the Euros to keep the feel-good factor going in England.”
