DANIELLA Bird has been called up by England for the under-17 international friendly in France today.
It is the first time Bird has made it into the England squad and it is also the first time the under-17 girls have played an international friendly outside of Britain.
The 15-year-old, from Bramley, has spent the week training with the team for the game at Clairefontaine.
Understandably Bird is very excited about being given such a privilleged opportunity.
Bird, has just returned from injury and said: "I am thrilled to be going and really looking forward to the trip."
She made it into the squad after trials held at Loughborough.
