Oxford United’s girls centre of excellence added another string to their bow this week when Charlotte Deeley was called into the England girls elite performance camp for the south of England.
The 13-year-old, from Didcot, has been with the club for the last four years.
Some fine performances in defence caught the eye of the national selectors, and she will now join up with the England squad at Bristol on November 26-27.
Richard Blackmore, head of the centre of excellence said: “This is the result of four years of hard work and support from all involved within Oxford United’s girls’ centre of excellences,” he said.
“It shows how we are moving forward and that we have taken a massive step in our female football programme.
“We are all really proud of Charlotte and hopefully there are more great players coming through the club as well.”
