Swain names squad

Kenny Swain has named an 18 man squad for the upcoming Nordic Tournament which will be held in the Faroe Islands.

A number of Swain's squad played for England Under-16s during the recent Montaigu Tournament, which took place in April.

There, England finished fifth after a penalty shoot-out victory over Japan.

Rhys Murphy, who scored in the 1-1 win over Japan as well as converting from the spot during the shoot-out, is named in the squad alongside Arsenal teammate Moses Barnett.

Also included are Jonathan Franks and Daniel Rose (pictured), of Middlesbrough and Leeds respectively. Both have shone at under-16 level.

Swain, a former European Cup winner with Aston Villa, will meet up with his squad at Burnham Beeches on 27 July before departing for the Faroe Islands three days later.

The tournament, which runs from 31 July to 5 August, comprises eight teams, split into two groups. England are in Group B, along with Norway, Sweden and the Faroe Island Under-19s. Iceland, Finland, Denmark and the Faroe Islands make up Group B.

The winners of each group will play each other to decide the outright tournament winner.
