Jodi Jones, the Notts County winger, is set to play against England in a European Championships qualifier later this month as he has been selected for the latest Malta squad.
After being instrumental in helping the Magpies achieve promotion from the National League, Jones made a permanent move to the team this summer. He has since acquired a Maltese passport through his father and went on to make his debut for the national team in September.
He has since earned six caps for Malta, featuring against reigning champions Italy and North Macedonia in the Nations League.
Now he has a chance to test himself against some of the best players in the world when Malta host the Three Lions on Friday 16 June.
England are top of Group C with two wins out of two, while Malta are bottom with no points from two games.
Furthermore, aside from the forthcoming match, Jones will actively participate in two additional games within the international break, with Malta embarking on trips to both Luxembourg on Friday, June 9 and Ukraine on Monday, June 19.
During this season, the 25-year-old player has managed to score three important goals for Notts, including a decisive goal in extra time against Boreham Wood in the play-off semi-final and a penalty in the shoot-out against Chesterfield at Wembley, throughout 18 games.
Jones will hope to impress Notts boss Luke Williams with his performances for Malta and cement his place in the League Two side next season.
