Carl Rushworth is in the U20 Squad

Teddy Jenks & Jensen Weir in the U19 Squad

Well done lads.

 

[The Fits]

Love that. Amazing how young Weir and Jenks are- they look like men already in the U23 games i've seen.

Surprised young Weir's dad is letting him play for the English! He must be gutted!

Jensen Weir (19, midfielder), currently on loan at Cambridge Utd where he's made a handful of apps so far, is in the England U20 squad for their next two matches v Italy and the Czech Republic

Its every fathers nightmare to see his son become a professional football player.

Well done Jensen and Zak - bit confusing having this on an old thread - nearly posted asking why Jenks and Weir were being replaced in November 15th!

Ha ! Not only is it still hard to get my head round the Albion having multiple England youth internationals. We now have 2 England internationals - 17 year olds - called Zak !

Need three 17 year old England youth internationals named Zak by next year to avoid the annual "this club is going nowhere thread" by GB. Going to be rough but I believe in the academy.

It's almost as if this weird Academy idea actually had some merit
