Speaking about joining up with the England squad Tom Heaton said on X, “Incredibly honoured to be asked by Gareth to join the squad. To get the call to go to a major tournament, to help in anyway I can and pass on my experience, is a proud moment. We have a great squad, I’m excited and can’t wait to join the group.”
Tom Heaton won three full England International caps in 2016 and 2017, he was also a member of the squad at Euro 2016 and the 2019 Nations League finals. England manager Gareth Southgate said: “Experience tells us that a tournament can put a lot of demand on our goalkeeping group. Tom will play an invaluable role on the training pitch supporting Jordan, Aaron and Dean. Off the field, as someone we all know well, he will add to the positive environment we are always looking to create.”
Euro 2024 starts on 14 June, whilst England will face Serbia (16th June) in their opening group game before going on to face Denmark (20th June) and Slovenia (25th June). As they look to win their first major trophy since the FIFA World Cup in 1966.
