Firstly, the 18-year-old midfielder has been placed on stand-by for the forthcoming England Under-20 camp next week.

The training camp, at St George’s Park, commences on Tuesday, June 19^th and finishes on Saturday, June 23^rd.

In addition, Palmer has been named in Mo Marley’s initial England Under-20 squad for the FIFA Women’s Under-20 World Cup.

The Under-20 World Cup will be staged in the Brittany region of France in August.

The Young Lionesses were drawn in Group B alongside Brazil, Mexico and holders North Korea.

The 35 strong playing group has vast experience throughout England’s youth teams and have participated in both UEFA Under-17 and Under-19 finals.

Furthermore, they have the added experience of reaching the quarter-finals of the FIFA Women’s Under-17 World Cup in 2016.

England qualified for the tournament for a fifth time by beating Scotland in a play-off last August.

Everyone at the club would like to congratulate Aimee on this fantastic achievement.
