Stones called up to England U19s...Digby on standby

Managed by former Tykes Coach Noel Blake, the youngsters reached the semi-finals of this year’s European Championships only to narrowly lose out 2-1 to Greece.

Stones, who marked his full debut with a goal on the opening day of the season, turned first-year professional this season whilst Digby, 17, is still only a second-year Academy Scholar.

The Reds could potentially have two representatives at England Under 19s level after John Stones was called up for the Young Lions with Paul Digby placed on standby.
