Jake Livermore is determined to 'take every opportunity and grasp it' as he aims to ensure his remarkable re-emergence as an England player extends to next summer's World Cup.
Livermore made his England debut in 2012 but it was not until March this year that he added to that cap.
That was around two years on from the midfielder testing positive for cocaine as he struggled to cope with the death of his newborn son.
Livermore escaped a ban, with his particular circumstances taken as mitigation by the Football Association, and he went on to help Hull win promotion to the Premier League, then joined West Brom midway through last season.
