LEAP athlete and Lincoln City Centre of Excellence scholar Holly Crosby has been selected for an England Under-17 training camp, despite being just 14 years old.

Holly, will join the England squad this week for a five-day training camp at Loughborough, which will include two international matches against South Africa.

The international call-up is the second time Holly has been selected for the Under-17 squad and this time, she says nerves will not get the better of her.

"I can't wait for it," she said. "Normally I am quite nervous when I join the squad, but this time I know more of the girls and a bit more about what to expect, so I am just really looking forward to it."

The central midfielder has been part of the Lincoln Centre of Excellence set-up since playing in the Under-12 side. And she attributes her success to the hard work she puts in off the football pitch.
