Dean Bowditch is in the England squad to play in the UEFA U19 European Championship Elite Qualifying Round held later this month.

The Town striker will meet up with his international colleagues before England open their group qualifiers with a match against Denmark on March 26 at Crewe.

Dean - Easter with England

Two days later they take on Sweden at Bury before finishing their group with a clash with Moldova at Blackpool on March 30.

The winners of the group qualify for this summer's U19 European Championships.

Dean won't miss any games for Town with the qualifiers being played over Easter and no scheduled Championship fixtures at that time.
