England call-up means ‘everything’ to Jarrod Bowen after journey from non-league

Jarrod Bowen admits an England career felt “a million miles away” as he was plying his trade in non-league football just eight years ago.

The 25-year-old West Ham forward earned a maiden Three Lions call-up for the forthcoming Nations League fixtures against Hungary, Germany and Italy following a fine Premier League campaign.

Bowen ended the season with 12 league goals as the Hammers secured European qualification through their league position for a second successive year.
