Rams youngster selected to take part in the annual Montaigu Tournament in France later this month.
Derby County Academy player Max Lowe has been called up for international duty by England’s Under 16s for the second time.
Lowe has impressed for Derby’s Under 18s in recent weeks and has been part of the side that progressed to the Quarter Finals of the FA Youth Cup.
Comfortable at either left-back or on the left-hand side of midfield, he made his debut for England’s Under 16s earlier in the season in a 5-0 win over Northern Ireland in the Sky Sports Victory Shield and is currently following in the footsteps of Mason Bennett, Will Hughes and Kwame Thomas by representing England at youth international level.
His fine form for Derby has resulted in a call-up for the annual Montaigu Tournament in France later this month. The Young Lions will play a total of four games over six days in the competition.
With eight nations in the Montaigu Tournament, the format sees two groups of four teams drawn out and three fixtures to start with.
The fourth and final match pits nations from each group against the team which finished in the corresponding position of the other group to decide the final rankings.
And England kick-off their group stage against the Netherlands on Tuesday 26th March, before facing Chile two days later and then finishing with a clash against Germany on Saturday 30th March.
The final match will be played on Monday 1st April, with France, Portugal, Turkey and Japan making up the other group.
