Bradford Bulls centre Lee Gilmour today spoke of his pride at being included in the England squad for the World Sevens in Australia.
The 24-year-old said: "There are a lot of good sevens players at Bradford, such as Paul Deacon, Mike Forshaw and Leon Pryce, so I am chuffed to be selected."
England have named ten players for the two-day tournament in Sydney on the weekend of February 1-2.
The squad includes Wigan and Great Britain captain Andy Farrell, but the selectors have restricted their choice to no more than one player from each club, thereby minimising disruption to their preparations for the new season.
In addition to Farrell and Gilmour, the squad includes three fellow members of the Great Britain team that beat New Zealand in the recent third Test - Richard Horne (Hull), Danny Orr (Castleford) and Keith Senior (Leeds).
London Broncos and promoted Huddersfield are the only Super League clubs without a representative.
There are also places for 19-year-old Great Britain Academy forward Andrew Brocklehurst of Halifax and Wakefield's promising centre Gareth Ellis, the outstanding player on the England A tour to the South Pacific.
Mike Gregory, who masterminded England Academy's series win over the Australian Schoolboys last month, will coach the side.
England squad: Andrew Brocklehurst (Halifax), Phil Cantillon (Widnes), Gareth Ellis (Wakefield), Andrew Farrell (Wigan), Lee Gilmour (Bradford), Richard Horne (Hull), Danny Orr (Castleford), Keith Senior (Leeds), Rob Smyth (Warrington), Anthony Stewart (St Helens).
