Luton defender Joe Johnson earns first England U18 call

Luton Town defender Joe Johnson has added to his reputation with a first call to the England U18 squad.

The 17 year-old made his Championship debut last season and his full debut in the Carabao Cup this term.

Hatters boss Rob Edwards has said of the youngster: “We've got a lot of good young players, the work that goes on in the academy is outstanding.

"It's not just Joe that is knocking about, Jayden Luker travelled with us (to Everton), there's a couple there to get some great experience and be a part of it.

"Joe played against Exeter as well, played a couple of games last year in the back end of the Championship.

"I do like him, I think he's got a really good future."
