Town youngster Josh Pitts has been named in a provisional full Malta squad for the first time ahead of their World Cup qualifiers next month.

The Maltese host Lithuania on Saturday 7th June, then travel to take on the Netherlands in Groningen three days later.

Head coach Emilio De Leo has named a provisional squad featuring Pitts, who has previously featured at U18s level.

Forward Pitts, 18, joined the Blues in January from Southampton following a successful trial with John McGreal’s U21s. Following an injury, he made his return to the development side for the last couple of games of the season.

If he features in the games, the Portsmouth-born attacker will become the first Town player to have represented Malta.
