Wolves defender Conor Coady states that playing for England was never a possibility in his mind.

The centre-back, who is presently on loan at Everton, is in the squad of the Three Lions at the World Cup.

While Coady is not a regular starter for Gareth Southgate, he is just delighted at being involved with the setup.

"You're always dreaming of those things and that night was something I've always dreamed of," explained the defender to reporters.

"I remember Tripps (Kieran Trippier) putting the ball in and it was one of the proudest moments of my life.

"It landed on my toe and I thought, is this really happening, it was like slow motion.

"To be honest, I never thought I'd play for England so to then score, and then go on to get ten caps, I never thought I'd get one.

"I remember running off and I was at Wolves at the time and I never went up for corners. So I did it, scored, and I was getting loads of messages from people at Wolves saying, 'you never go up!'

"So I told them they should put me up there from now on.

"I put my head to the sky running off and had a bit of a chuckle to myself about the fact I had just scored for England, and I'll remember that forever more."
