Clarke included in England Under-20s core squad

Warriors Women wing Cara Clarke has been included in England Under-20s core player group for this season.

Birmingham University student Clarke, who has already been capped by England Under-20s, is in a 24-strong group who will take part in three-day training camps each month. The core squad will be joined by other players on a camp-by-camp basis.

Former England international and RFU Performance Pathway Officer Amy Turner will lead the programme with support from James Cooper.

Turner said: “We’ve selected a squad with the intent of player development over the course of the season.

“All players are aged between 17 and 20 so we have a real range, depth and breadth of talent.

“The majority of the group are linked to Tyrrells Premier 15s clubs which allows us to continue working together with those in the domestic game.

“The camps will allow us to focus on the detail over the next seven months and we’re all looking forward to getting started.”
