SWINDON TOWN: Storey gets England call

Miles Storey Miles Storey

SWINDON Town striker Miles Storey has been named as standby for England Under 19s' upcoming clash with Finland.

The forward, who has scored three goals in his last two Town appearances, was watched by England Under 21 coach Stuart Pearce last night as he came off the bench to strike twice in six minutes in the 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa.

England's Young Lions recently progressed through their first qualifying stage towards the finals in Lithuania next summer and are now awaiting the draw for the elite round in early December.

The Finland game will take place in Telford on Tuesday, November 13 with kick-off at 7.30pm.

Good news all round, also puts a few more quid on Miles value not that we are looking to sell. He has broken into the first team and long may that continue. It will hopefully build his confidence without becoming cocky.

Really pleased for the lad, great news.

I was thinking last night that his value must be on the up. I'm sure, if he carries on with what he is doing, that someone will come sniffing in January.

Paolo has said that Miles is starting to show maturity, but needs to keep a level head and not get carried away. He has a good mentor in Paolo and should go far.

Congratulations to Miles. Very much deserved after 2 very good performances for someone of his age.

Keep progressing, keep listening to Paolo and you could go far!

Starting birth for them both in every game.

Excellent news, and well done to Miles and all concerned at STFC.

He has obviously listened and worked hard to get to this position, and hopefully will continue to develop and progress here.

Definitely time for a contract review, presumably on a 1 year at moment?

hmmm ... as long as he doesn't tell Paulo that he isn't up to training so hard one day. Then he'd be off the same way as Caddis.

Great to see the young players getting a chance so many talented lads fall by the wayside, as the managers want experience. Shows if you have faith in your youngsters you can unveil a gem. Think the embargo helped miles as pdc would never of played him so soon if money had been at his disposal. I'm sure the gaffer will take the credit though!

I think this is bad advice. With his feet kept on the ground he won't go very far, and he certainly wouldn't have scored that first goal at Stevenage...

The opening chapter has started well but I think the success of this Storey still has Miles further to go ........ as long as he doesn't keep getting booked .....

Agree with you here Grim, Rafa works very hard and creates for others as well as himself. Both should get a starting BERTH just as you say .
18 isn't too young if you're good enough, The Don and Paul Rideout were both regulars at the ripe old age of 16. Rideout certainly knew where the goal was.

What a fantastic week, one league goal, two goals against a Prem side in the cup, and now an England call up.

Well done, a week to remember, and equally well done to Paul Bodin, the two Thompson boys and Storey into our first team all within 7 days. They must have impressed our manager along the line to get the nod.
