Matthew Briggs has earned another call-up to the England under-21 squad for the forthcoming qualifiers against Iceland and Norway.

The Fulham left back made his Under-21 debut in last month’s Euro 2013 qualifying opener against Azerbaijan. The 20 year-old made a goal in a comprehensive 6-0 win for England at Vicarage Road. Stuart Pearce has included Briggs alongside the uncapped Jason Lowe and Ryan Bennett.

Pearce’s side travel to Reyjavik to face Iceland on October 6, before taking on Norway in Drammen on October 11 in two games that are sure to shape the Group 8 table.
