Swansea City midfielder Jonjo Shelvey is hoping his club form can lead to an England return.

The 23-year-old has started the new Premier League season in top condition for the Swans, particularly in Saturday's 2-0 home win over Newcastle United, where he really impressed under Garry Monk.

Shelvey's sole England cap came under Roy Hodgson back in October 2012 and the former Liverpool man is looking to kick on at club level in a bid to once again turn the head of the Three Lions boss.

"It is everyone's dream to play for their country, and obviously it is my dream as well," said Shelvey.

"Hopefully I can keep on putting in performances like this for Roy Hodgson to let me in his squad.

"I feel a lot better in myself. Its all been well-documented about the chef and all that but I worked hard in the summer.

"Now I have to stay on top of it, listening to the manager here, improving and fighting for my place."
