Liverpool midfielder Conor Coady is delighted to be named England captain for the U20 World Cup.

Coady is eager to lead by example once again and guide the Young Lions to glory.

"To be captain at any tournament is fantastic, but to be England captain at the U20 World Cup finals is superb. I couldn't be happier at the minute," he told FATV.

"I'd love to repeat [the 2010 win]. We're focused going into the tournament. The team cannot wait for it. We'll go and do the best we can.

"I feel like I've had a good season and I've really improved on my game and the things I wanted to improve on. So I just need to carry on in that way and keep improving."
