OXFORD United goalkeeper Max Crocombe has received his first call-up to the senior New Zealand squad.

The 21-year-old has been included by coach Anthony Hudson as one of eight uncapped players for the friendly against the South Korea on March 31.

The match in Seoul is being used as part of New Zealand's preparations for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

Crocombe, born in Auckland, played for his country at the Under 20 World Cup in 2013.

He has featured twice for the U's this season and last month moved on loan to Nuneaton Town, where he has kept clean sheets in his first two games.
