If Ollie Watkins makes the England squad for Euro 2024, it will mark quite the rise from his debut for Exeter at Hartlepool a decade ago.

Ollie Watkins is one of eight of England's starting XI from Monday's 3-0 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina who made their senior debuts outside the Premier League.

The 28-year-old could start again in Friday's final Euro 2024 warm up game against Iceland as Harry Kane continues to regain full fitness following a back problem. "Ollie was at his best when he was playing to win, he was at his worst when he was sat within a process. To play on the wing he was often stuck in the process waiting to get the ball.

Smith, who is now manager of Major League Soccer side Charlotte FC recalled: "I really liked what I saw, attitude-wise more than anything."nine times in 22 appearances in 2015-16 Watkins responded by improving his nutrition, taking meals home from the Bees' chef, and now at Villa he has a home gym, developing an elite mindset which has made him one of the top strikers in the Premier League.
