Brown included in England wheelchair squad

Australia-based Jack Brown will be part of England's squad for their Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup final rematch against France on 5 November.

The training camp will be held at the National Football Centre at St George's Park on the weekend of 28-29 October.

England beat France 28-24 in the World Cup final in Manchester last November.

Tom Halliwell - who captained England during the World Cup and scoring the match-winning try in the final - is included, along with maiden Wheels of Steel winner Lewis King and two players from Grand Final winners Wigan Warriors.

Coach Tom Coyd said: "In addition to congratulating the 12 players selected for the squad to prepare to face France, I want to stress my thanks to the other four members of our performance squad for their efforts and commitment this year.

"Ewan Clibbens, Freya Levy, Tristan Norfolk and Jason Owen have all had excellent seasons for their clubs and contributed hugely to our previous squad sessions this year, and they very much remain in our thoughts for the future.

"That's the toughest part about selecting international squads, and it's a reflection of the competition for places we now have as the sport continues to thrive following the exposure of last year's World Cup.

"Having a rematch against France is the perfect stage to maintain that momentum."

Coyd will narrow his squad to nine players for the match against France in Leeds, which will be shown live on BBC Two.
