Great Britain's Under-21 squad has been announced for the World Cup final.

The final takes place at Rye House and GB will have high hopes as they line up against Sweden, Denmark and Poland.

Joint managers Phil Morris and Neil Vachter confirmed that GP star Tai Woffinden would be captain and lead their challenge alongside GB Under-21 champion Joe Haines, Lewis Bridger, Kyle Hughes and Josh Auty.

"I'm proud to be asked to captain the team and the lads are all really up for it," he said.

"We are going to Rye to win and it's good we have already got together like this so we can all start to get some team spirit going.

"Having ridden in the senior World Cup, it has given me some experience that I hope will be beneficial and I can pass this onto the lads. As captain I want to lead by example by scoring my points, help the team and ultimately get that gold medal."
