Last updated : 05 May 2008 By Stray Shots Team
Lucas Pickett who has 23 youth team appearances this season for Aldershot Town, recently played for England Schools U18s at Wembley Stadium against Scotland, in the inaugural Bobby Moore Trophy in front of a crowd of 20,000.

England won 2-0 and Lucas provided the assist for the second goal. In a previous game against Northern Ireland he scored the winner with a free kick. This season's international performances also include Lucas setting up two goals in a friendly against Australia at Shrewsbury FC, and a training camp in Spain.

In addition to the youth team Lucas has also appeared for the reserves in the Pontins' Holidays Combination League against Football League opposition, and scored The Shots only goal with a screaming 25 yard shot against Brighton & Hove Albion in February.

Although playing central midfield for England, Lucas' versatility has seen him play at left-back and left-midfield for The Shots.
