Halstead Town’s Lee Green is celebrating winning his Essex cap after a tenth call-up for his county.

Despite only just turning 17, the Town central defender was presented with his cap after playing for the Essex under-18s team in their 2-1 win against Norfolk at Brightlingsea Regent last week.

Green was captain of Braintree Town’s under-18 Eastern Junior Alliance side, before moving to Halstead Town where he has been impressing in the first team in Thurlow Nunn League division one in the latter part of the season.
