DERBY County midfielder Will Hughes says the last few days have given him a lift.

The 17-year-old put a couple of below-par performances behind him to help the Rams beat Huddersfield Town 3-0 on Saturday.

Last night, he played for England Under-21s in their 4-0 victory over Sweden.

He won his second cap at under-21 level when he came on for the second half at Walsall's Banks's Stadium.

"As I have mentioned before, playing for England at any level is a massive achievement and especially playing above my age group for the under-21s," said Hughes.

"It is a great experience playing with lads who play in the Premier League, some week in, week out, and I am enjoying it.

"It was 3-0 when I came on, and it is always nice to be part of a win.

"Hopefully, I have done enough to be named in the next squad. The last two games have given me a lift.

"I wasn't really expecting it but I did have a dip in a couple of games and it played on my mind a bit.

"But in the last two performances, I have felt a lot more comfortable."
