Olivia Johnson heads off to represent England at the under-17 World Cup.

Albion youngster Olivia Johnson has been named in Natalie Henderson's under-17 squad to represent England at the World Cup.

OJ will train with the team in the Dominican Republic before the young Lionesses begin their campaign against Kenya on Friday 18 October (12:00am BST).

Women and girls' academy manager Perry Northeast said, "We're all really proud first and foremost of OJ.

"She's been with us for some time now and has come into the international pathway a bit later but she has worked hard to achieve that ambition of being part of this World Cup squad."

Women's under-19 head coach Dani Bowman said, "We were really pleased for her. I don't think she expected it and sometimes that means a bit more.

"She puts the hard work in and that's the reason why she got the call up. We just try and help facilitate and guide her where possible, but she does all the hard work. It's great for her but it's also great for the club."
