Ben Clayden is selected for the England Men's and Mixed Association Under 23 Trailblazers squad for their first-ever series against Australia

Netball player Ben Clayden is continuing to break new ground on the international stage.

The Morton player has again been selected for the England Men's and Mixed Association Under 23 Trailblazers squad for their first-ever series against Australia.

It gets underway tomorrow (Saturday) in the first match of the series at the University of East Anglia in Norwich.

The two countries then clash again on Wednesday night at Oundle School before concluding their series at the Score Leisure Centre in London next Sunday (October 26).

Clayden was part of the England squad which travelled to Singapore last year and returned home with a bronze medal for the first time.

He has also been selected for a netball aid celebrity match next month and continues to play for Norfolk United with three of his team-mates - Finn Moss, Ronnie Smith and Max Webb - joining him on England duties.

Ben started out his netball journey by playing at his mum Lorna's club, East Midlands Tornadoes, which is based in Witham-on-the-Hill.

After joining Norfolk United, he first caught the eye of the England selectors at the national finals where the goal attacker was named as player of the tournament in his position.

The former pupil of the Bourne Westfield and Bourne Academy schools was part of the Norfolk United side which finished in sixth place at this year's National Championships.
