Twins Innes and Louis Senior of Huddersfield Giants are in the England Academy National Performance Squad.

The Meltham lads – who have both made Super League debuts this season and are just gone 18 – have been picked in head coach Dave Elliott’s 27-strong selection to prepare for four end-of-season Tests.

Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors lead the way with six players selected from each club, while St Helens have four players named and the City of Hull Academy three.

Widnes Vikings and the Giants both have two players selected, with Warrington Wolves and Castleford Tigers providing one representative.

Betfred Championship outfit Bradford Bulls also have two players named in the National Performance Squad.

Four players who played in the 2017 Academy test series against France, Cameron Scott and Jack Brown (City of Hull Academy) and Harry Smith and Joe Shorrocks (Wigan Warriors) are included, all other players named are debutants.

Cameron Scott also made his first team debut for Hull FC at last Sunday’s Dacia Magic Weekend at St James’ Park, Newcastle.

Elliott, who previously coached the academy side between 2010-2012 and led them to a historic victory over the Australian Schoolboys in 2010, returns as head coach.
