Luke Bolton has been selected for England Under-20s’ upcoming games against Holland and Switzerland.
The Hatters’ wide man, has made four appearances for Town, since joining on a season-long loan from Manchester City, including all three of this term’s victories in league and cup.
The 19-year-old arrived at Kenilworth Road as a forward but has been utilised as a full back in all of his Town appearances so far, but he has been named by England coach Keith Downing as a forward.
The Young Lions kick-off against the Dutch in Shrewsbury on Thursday 5 September, before heading to Basel for their second game of the week against the Swiss.
Downing, who was the U19s boss last year, said: “We see the U20s as a pathway to the U21s squad and also as an introduction to international football for players who might not have been involved previously.
“For some of the squad who have played for our younger teams, playing for the U20s is a continuation of the England pathway.
“But it’s also an age where players start to break into their club teams so it’s an opportunity for new lads who’ve done that and impressed to come in.
“The likes of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Lloyd Kelly and Dwight McNeil are examples of players who have come into the system at U20 level in the last couple of years.”
Former Hatters defender and youth product James Justin, has also recieved an England call-up with the Under-21 team, just days after his new club Leicester was drawn against Luton at Kenilworth Road in the Carabao Cup.
