‘It’s time for me to prove what I can do’ – McCarthy vows to make England mark

The 28-year-old is determined to make this the time he earns his first international cap

Southampton goalkeeper Alex McCarthy has promised to do his utmost to make a positive impression with England, having been called up for a third time by Gareth Southgate.

The uncapped 28-year-old finds himself in the squad along with Jordan Pickford, Jack Butland and Marcus Bettinelli, and he has promised to make the most of the opportunity to impress the manager.

The World Cup semi-finalists face Spain on Saturday and McCarthy is eager to put his name in the frame to feature, despite Pickford’s stellar displays at Russia 2018.
