U21 Call Up for Stead.

[Alan75]

Jon Stead must be wondering when he's going to wake up, within the last couple of weeks he's moved from third division Huddersfield to Premier League Blackburn,  scored the winning goal at Middlesbrough on his debut and then the equaliser on Wednesday night in his home debut against Newcastle.

The new goal scoring hero of Ewood Park's rapid rise and impressive displays have now earned him a call-up to the England Under-21 squad, who play Holland at Hull on Tuesday.

Stead told the Rovers Official website: "A letter arrived at the training ground and it's obviously a great thrill."

"All the lads are pleased for me. I'm having a good season and you always live in the hope of these things. Obviously moving to Blackburn and the Premiership, plus getting a couple of goals, has helped enormously."
