Boreham Wood Football Club has over the last 2 seasons seen great success with our boys in the England National representative sides, including the England Independent Schools, England Schools and England Colleges.

This season we currently have two current English college internationals in Jordan Lawal and Bradley Fraser who have represented their country and hope to take their place on this seasons prestigious tour of Italy to play the national teams from the likes of Slovenia, Greece, and Italy to name just a few.

Last season 2009 / 10 saw three, Boreham Wood PASE players represent the England College side, with Jon Clements, Bradley Fraser and Jay Brett. Our lads represented the England College team in a very prestigious tour of Italy, where they faced the National under 19 sides from Italy, Holland, Germany, Slovenia, Romania & Greece.

We also have the 2008 / 09 under 16 ISFA (independent Schools) captain, Charlie Hunter on our books. Charlie was also selected in the 2009 / 10 season for the ISFA under 18 side a year above himself. He represented his country in a 6 – 0 thrashing of Shropshire Schools, and played in international fixtures against Australia and Wales, then toured Poland with the England ISFA squad, before playing against Scotland in another full international fixture at the Tynecastle Stadium(Hearts FC), North of the border.

We have three under 18s this season, in David Sesay, Lee Close and Liam Griffin, who were selected for final trials with the English Schools Football Association. These boys spent 3 days at Lilleshall and although narrowly missing the cut we hope they continue the fantastic progress they’ve shown and hopefully they will represent England shortly.

Boreham Wood FC regard it as a great honour, to have had more England National representative players in their structure over the last few seasons than any other team within the Non-League pyramid. That’s a credit to Boreham Wood FC, our coaches and of course the progress and attitude of our players, who have worked so hard to represent their Country on a National level.

Two of our old youth team players, have now stepped into the professional game. In fact Lee Hodson, and Matthew Whichelow both currently play regular first team football with Watford FC. As youngsters both these lads came through our youth structure and we are very happy we played a part in their progress.

Boreham Wood can also boast that they have had a number of other players, who have gone off to the United States of America. Having won full scholarships, to study within the American College and University system. So the world really is your oyster if you study hard, as well as apply yourself to football.
