Dover Athletic's Sean Raggett and Welling United's George Porter and Sam Corne selected for England C training squad

Three players from Kent clubs have been selected for an England C training camp.

Dover defender Sean Raggett is part of the squad who will attend Warwick University from Sunday, September 27 to Tuesday, September 29.

Also selected are Welling duo Sam Corne and George Porter.

Ebbsfleet goalkeeper Brandon Hall is one of 18 players on standby.

The training camp is designed to give manager Paul Fairclough an opportunity to look at a predominantly new players prior to this autumn’s International Challenge Trophy.

Raggett,21, is part of the Dover defence that has conceded just 11 goals in 11 league matches so far this season.

He played for England C in the 2-1 win against Ireland under-21s in Galway in June.

Corne, 19, scored a stunning equaliser for Welling in a televised game against Tranmere earlier this month and is already nudging 50 appearances for the Wings.

Perhaps the most impressive rise is Porter, who ended last season at Ryman League Premier Division champions Maidstone after leaving Dagenham.

Despite not having a goal to his name this season, Porter has impressed both in a central and wide role for Welling.

Former Welling players Kurtis Guthrie, Dominic Vose and Jake Gallagher are also selected along with Braintree's Alex Woodyard, who previously had a spell with Dartford.

The full squad is: Jake Gallagher (Aldershot Town), Joel Dixon (Barrow AFC), Billy Clifford (Boreham Wood), Kaine Felix (Boston United), Sam Habergham, Alex Woodyard (Braintree Town), Ben Heneghan, Ryan Higgins (Chester), Sean Raggett (Dover Athletic), James Bolton (FC Halifax Town), Kurtis Guthrie, James Maxted (Forest Green Rovers), Daniel Johnson (Gateshead), Omar Bogle (Grimsby Town), Jack Lane (Nuneaton Town), Will Beesley (Southport), Michael Ihiekwe (Tranmere Rovers), George Porter, Sam Corne (Welling United), John Goddard, Kadell Daniel (Woking), Dominic Vose (Wrexham).
