Squad expanded by new additions from Huddersfield and Hull KR
Coach Tony Smith has expanded the England train-on squad preparing for the Gillette Four Nations series with four new additions from Huddersfield and Hull KR.
Rovers full-back Shaun Briscoe and winger Peter Fox will join Giants hooker Scott Moore and prop Eorl Crabtree in the squad after their teams dropped out of the engage Super League play-offs.
The four new arrivals all featured in the England side that beat France 66-12 in the mid-season international in Paris.
The new recruits take the number of players in the initial squad so far to 18, with representatives still to be added from Wigan, Leeds and St Helens.
The final 24-man line-up will be revealed by Smith on October 12, but he will also use several "discarded" players in the international against Wales in Bridgend on October 17, when those involved in the October 10 Grand Final will be rested.
Train-on squad: S Burgess, P Sykes (both Bradford), M Shenton (Castleford), T Briscoe, D Tickle (both Hull), E Crabtree, S Moore (Both Huddersfield), P Fox, S Briscoe (both Hull KR), M Higham, G Carvell, A Morley, B Westwood (all Warrington), T Clubb, L McCarthy-Scarsbrook (both Harlequins), S Ratchford, R Myler (both Salford), G Ellis (Wests Tigers).
