Unbelievable Rise: Non-League Goalkeeper Snatched for England Squad Shock!
Non-league football has a long and proud history when it comes to developing players for the England national team set-up and one teenage goalkeeper has gained recognition for his National League performances this season.
Ex-Boreham Wood goalkeeper Finlay Herrick was on loan from West Ham United and helped the Hertfordshire non-league side strengthen their promotion credentials in English football’s fifth tier.
The 19-year-old was unbeaten in his first nine league outings for the Wood before they were defeated by Robbie Savage’s Forest Green Rovers at the end of October. Herrick kept five clean sheets in his ten National League appearances.

Herrick joined Lee Carsley and the England Under-21s for their European Championship qualification match against Slovakia in Presov on Tuesday, replacing Shrewsbury Town’s Manchester United loanee Elyh Harrison.
“The 19-year-old shot-stopper, who impressed during his two-and-a-half month loan spell at Boreham Wood in the Enterprise National League earlier this season, replaces Manchester United’s Elyh Harrison, joining fellow goalkeepers Tommy Setford of Arsenal and Stoke City’s Tommy Simkin in the U21s ranks,” confirmed an update from the Hammers.
