Hot on the heels of their success in winning the Sky Sports Victory Shield last week, the England U16s have now turned their attention to the annual international Montaigu Tournament in France later this month.

Head Coach Kenny Swain has named his 18-man squad for the competition, which gives the Young Lions four games in five days against a variety of opponents.

In the group stages this year, England will pit their wits against Uruguay (20 April), United Arab Emirates (21 April) and Ivory Coast (23 April) before playing a final fourth match (25 April) against either France, Portugal, Japan or USA to decide the final position.

All of Swain's squad for the trip have featured in the Victory Shield this season, with the goalscorers from last week's win against Scotland David Moli and Ryan Inniss both included.

England have performed well at the Montaigu Tournament in recent seasons, winning the competition in 2008 and 2009 and losing in the Final against Portugal after a penalty shoot-out in 2010.
