Albion girls’ centre of excellence is celebrating more success after Phoebe Leitch and Zoe Cross were called up to an England under-17 training camp.
The two Albion under-17 players will join up with Lois Fidler’s squad on 7th March for three-days at St George’s Park.
Leitch has previously earned a call-up at under-15 level and is now following in the footsteps of Kellie Larkin and Paula Howells by moving up to the under-17s.
