Ellie Smith has been selected to take part in England Under-20s camp. 

The Leicester Tigers prop is one of just four players within the 32-strong squad to not have previous caps in the England Pathway system.

Smith, 20, is a product of the club's pathway programme, having been identified while at Lichfield Ladies and signing with Leicester Tigers ahead of the current campaign.

In her debut season as part of the club, Smith has made seven appearances.
