Leeds Met Carnegie's Luke Wildman has won a call up to the England Universities Football Squad.

He is in the initial squad of 28 players that, after a series of warm-up games, will be reduced to 20 to compete at April's British University Games in Scotland.

The players were selected after representing the Northern Universities Team, coached by John Hall, in a two day tournament in Warwick.

Wildman is a defender who played for the West Riding County FA and Farsley Celtic Reserves before signing for Carnegie this season. He has been ever present in both the BUSA and NCEL teams.

He is one of two Leeds Met Carnegie students to be in the squad.

Goalkeeper Jonathan Mclaughlin recently played for Harrogate Railway in the televised FA Cup game against Mansfield Town but now turns out for neighbours Harrogate Town.

John Hall, Carnegie Director of Football and Northern Universities Manager, said: "I'm delighted for Jonathan and Luke who have done exceptionally well throughout the selection process.

"They are both great lads who are committed to their sport and are fully deserving of their selection.

"Both players were outstanding at the weekend which not only looked at their playing ability but also their suitability to be part of a group in tournament conditions.

"Hopefully, they can impress enough in the warm up games to be selected for British University Games in Scotland."
