Yeovil Town’s Ollie Haste has been called up to the England College’s Men’s team following a successful trial.
Haste, who was on the bench for the Glovers’ first team in the win over Bromley, has made Darren Sarll’s squads on a couple of occasions and has been played from the start in both Somerset Premier Cup games so far this season.
The youngster attends Yeovil College as well as playing as part of the Glovers’ Under 18s, he had to get through two stages of trials to get selected where he will join players from all over the country.
Head Coach, Darin Killpartrick said: “The trial phase is always a difficult and subjective process. The standard this year was very balanced and there were hardly any differences in players’ abilities, making the process incredibly difficult and challenging.”
The England College team currently has one fixture listed, with more expected to be announced, should Ollie be selected, this does fall on what is currently an empty midweek for the Glovers, but it would be filled should there be a need for a replay following the FA Cup clash with Stevenage.
