16-year-old Newcastle United sensation gets England call-up after St. James' Park experience

Newcastle United youngster Lewis Miley was an unused substitute at St. James' Park on the weekend but now has a chance to impress for England. The 16-year-old, brother of fellow Newcastle star Jamie Miley, appears destined for the top and has caught the eye of national team scouts with his impressive performances at youth level on Tyneside.

Miley has been cutting it with Newcastle's best young prospects in the Under-18s in recent months after proving a class above his own age group. The teenager featured in 45 minutes of football against Liverpool last season among players his own age but after scoring two goals in the first-half he was swiftly moved to the Under-18 group, where again he stood out.

Now the Magpies talent has a chance to prove his worth on the international stage after being called up to England's Under-17 side for clashes with Norway, Faroe Islands and Finland later this month. He will link up with the Three Lions on Tuesday, along with two youngsters from Middlesbrough's academy.
