Wilkinson Wins Cap in England Victory
Wednesday, 30th Sep 2026 14:25
Blues youngster Oliver Wilkinson won his second England U18s cap as the Young Lions beat South Korea 2-1 at the UEFA Friendship Cup in Switzerland this morning.
Wilkinson, 17, started and played the first 60 minutes with England claiming victory with a goal in injury time.
The central defender had also started the previous game, a 2-1 victory over Egypt, having been a late call into the squad.
England had already qualified for the semi-finals before today's game but confirmed top spot in group with a 100 per cent record. They face another of the group winners on Saturday.
Wilkinson joined Town from Barnsley a year ago - having made one senior EFL Trophy appearance for the Tykes as a 15-year-old - and signed his first pro deal in February. He previously won caps at U15, U16 - who he captained - and U17 levels.
