Southampton academy chief Hale happy with Bycroft, Slattery England calls

Southampton academy manager Matt Hale is delighted seeing Jack Bycroft involved with England Under-19s.

Callum Slattery is also with England Under-20s this week.

Hale told the club's website: “Callum has shown a great attitude this season. We know what he's capable of. He's had that opportunity with the first team and I'm sure that will come around again soon, as his performances continue.

“I'm delighted for him to be recognised again by the England setup, which is testament to that attitude and how he's applied himself.

“Jack's done tremendously well. We've felt for some time that he was at that level, and finally he's got that recognition and been rewarded for his hard work and the continuous development he's shown.

“He's trained a lot with the first team and the first-team goalkeeping staff. He's had some fantastic performances – both in our Under-18s last year and this year in the Under-23s. We're delighted for Jack."
