Sunderland keeper Pickford admits England call has him wanting more

Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford says his England call has him hungry for more.

Pickford admits time spent training with the main squad has given him a taste for more.

“I had a good week away with the England lads, it was a really good learning experience and I got a good feel for it," Pickford told the Sunderland Echo.

“It was great to be training with and learning from Joe Hart and Tom Heaton every day and being involved in the team.

“It was my first time at Wembley and I was on the bench.

“It is great for me from a learning point of view.

“I always want to get better and what an experience it was to be away with the national team.

“It certainly gave me a taste for more and I just have to keep working as hard as possible.

“I have the Euros in the summer with England Under-21s, so I don't want to look past that."
