Academy keeper Cody Cropper has been named in the US U20 squad for a training camp in Vichy, France from May 15th-20th. The 20-man squad will also play two friendlies against the France U20 side on May 17th and May 19th.
Cropper, 18, has been given a one-year professional contract by Town while he completes the final season of his scholarship at Playford Road.
The Atlanta-born keeper is likely to be the first choice for the France friendlies with previous number one Zac MacMath soon to be too old for the U20 age group and not making the trip.
