England U17 training squad announced
Head coach Jonathan Pendlebury and assistant coach Will Parkin have named their England U17 Men’s training squad for the team’s second camp of the season.
The U17 Men’s side previously met at St. George’s Park in March with a 57-strong cohort now refined to 41 players ahead of this weekend’s meeting at Hartpury College.
England U17 Men will face Hartpury College in an exhibition fixture to conclude this weekend’s camp this Sunday.
Jonathan Pendlebury said: “Following on from our U18 Six Nations and U19 activity, we’re excited to return to action with a renewed focus amongst a motivated group of players. Having a healthy number of the squad recalled to contend for places on the plane to South Africa speaks to the talent we’re able to work with.
“This weekend is the perfect precursor to our summer plans with a busy schedule to heighten our competitive approach. Many players are only experiencing their second pathway camp, so it’s imperative we continue to drive our standards and principles throughout their time with us.
“Our core framework of exploration, speed and attachment will be implemented across our schedule with the aid of our capped players ahead of a testing matchup against one of the country’s best schools in Hartpury.”
