Josh Sims

has been called up to England's U17 squad for this years Algrave Tournament following in the footsteps of clubmates James Ward-Prowse, Calum Chambers and Ryan Seager, who traveled to the Algarve Tournament in 2011, 2012 and 2013 respectively.
Sims, who has scored seven goals in 21 appearances for Saints’ Under-18s this season, is added to the Young Lions party heading to Portugal next week after the withdrawal of Blackburn’s Connor Mahoney.

First up for John Pea****’s team is a game against Holland at the Estadio Municipal de Lagos on Wednesday 26th February at 4pm GMT.

Then comes a game against hosts Portugal at the Estadio Algarve – one of the venues from Euro 2004 – on Sims’ 17th birthday, Friday 28th February (4pm GMT).

England round off the tournament against Germany back in Lagos on Sunday 2nd March (12pm GMT).

Well done Josh and good Luck.

Congrats to him, impressed me in the Youth Cup game against the Skates.

Hope he progresses well, through the academy, as isn't he "Jonno quick"?

A great debut for Josh in Englands U17 game against Holland. England winning 2-0 with Josh scoring 1 and setting up the 2.
Yes he's very quick, but still needs some building up.

Josh Sims is the most gifted young player I have seen for many years. If he keeps making progress he could be even better than Bale. - view external link
