Birmingham City goalkeeper Zach Jeacock has taken to Twitter to celebrate his international debut as he helped England Under-19s record a 3-1 win over their Greece counterparts (official FA website).

The highly-rated 18-year-old signed his first professional contract at St Andrew’s in May (official Blues website) following a breakthrough season in which he made 10 appearances for the Under-23s.

Jeacock has since been impressing on loan at Gloucester City as a regular in between the sticks for the Tigers in their National League North campaign.

As such he was rewarded by being named in Paul Simpson’s 23-strong squad for the Euro qualifying games against Greece on Thursday, September 5 at St George’s Park and away to Germany on Monday, September 9.

Although the Greeks opened the scoring, goals from Daniel Adshead, Ryan Edmondson and a penalty from captain Thomas Doyle helped the Young Lions record a solid victory ahead of their trip to Haige.

Here is what Jeacock wrote on Twitter:
