Since he was 15 the defender has been in the England U-17's and long term captain of his country but after showing his class in Division One he has now been called up to the England U-19s, making him the youngest player in the England U-19 team.
He has been called up to play Holland U-19s, in Holland, on the 17th February with kick off at 7pm. Billy is unlikely to miss any games but the travelling and his ever present first team action may take it's toll and he may be rested by DG.
