Villa striker Delfouneso enjoying England U19 experience

Aston Villa striker Nathan Delfouneso is delighted with his time with England U19 squad.

The Villa striker put in a lively performance in England's 0-0 friendly draw with Czech Republic in Walsall last night.

The encounter was a warm-up for May's Elite Qualifying Round, when Brian Eastick's side will be looking to qualify for the European Finals.

"It's important to play against players at this level and it's good to go and test yourself on a personal level," he said.

"These games help your development as a player. Obviously international football is a bit different to club football.

"You are playing against different cultures and different types of footballers, so it's all part of your education."
