Speaking to Sky Sports News, Taylor, who was in charge of the senior England squad when he first named David Beckham captain, was full of praise for the Haydock youngster, who will lead the squad for the U20s World Cup in Turkey this summer.

He was full of praise for the 20-year-old, saying: “He’s good around the place. He’s a good leader, nice and vocal with the group and looks as though he wants to get things done.

“He was a good choice I think.”
