Hayden Hackney in England u21s

Declan Rice got 3 caps for Ireland U21s.
Ryan Giggs played for England U16s
Cant think of any Scottish equivalents though
Neither to same level either. Rice didn't play for England U21s and Giggs didn't play for Wales U16s
 
I thought he had an excellent debut in the Brentford FA Cup defeat in 2021 and was surprised he was loaned to lowly Scunthorpe later on tbh. He has developed into a must start for the first team and hopefully he can keep on improving. I suspect Carrick will have had a chat with Carsley, if not Sir Gareth himself. Great news for Hackney 👏
 
Must have had a word with Sir Gareth? England squad discussion yesterday bemoaned that the likes of Henderson and Phillips were getting in the squad, but others talked of the lack of options (Declan Rice excepted), so perhaps Hackney sees progression in that sort of role. We'll struggle to hold on to him next summer if he continues this progress and we don't go up. His goal the other week against Huddersfield was a bit special, hope he has the confidence to do that more this season.
