Jack Hinshelwood has been called into the England Under-21s.

The Sussex-born defender has broken into the Albion ranks in recent seasons through his strong performances under Roberto De Zerbi and now Fabian Huerzeler.

Now the youngster has been added into the England youth ranks for the first time as he continues on his upwards trajectory with Albion.

Keeper James Beadle also makes the squad.

Albion's head of academy Ian Buckman said, “It’s brilliant news for Jack that his performances since he broke into our first team last season have been recognised at this level. He has worked so hard for this opportunity and I’m sure he will relish the experience with England.

“Of course, it also reflects well on our academy and the many coaches and backroom staff who have helped Jack so far in his career. We’re all very proud of him and James Beadle, who has played for our under-18s and under-21s."

Hinshelwood continues to provide options for Albion at left back where the club have found particular strength in depth.

Pervis Estupinan continues his return to full fitness and could jostle for position with Hinshelwood and new signing Ferdi Kadioglu.
