Five Southampton Saints have been selected for the England under-17 women's training camp at Preston in February.

Goalkeeper Roxanne Roberts, defender Scarlett Smith and forwards Kelly Baker, Nicki Watts and Cassie Thorp will be put through their paces from February 15 to 19.

The call-ups are another feather in the cap of the Southampton Centre of Excellence with all five girls making the successful transition from Centre to senior football.

Sue Lopez, Saints' head of women's football, said: "It will be good for the girls to play with and against some of the best young players in the country.

"Most of the season they have been playing adult football, which is tough when you are only 15 and 16 years of age."
