Braintree's Lee Green is celebrating winning his Essex cap after a tenth call-up for his county.

Despite only just turning 17, the former Notley Green Primary School pupil (pictured below) was presented with his cap after playing for the Essex under-18s team in their 2-1 win against Norfolk at Brightlingsea Regent last week.

Central defender Green, who is a student at Colchester Royal Grammar School, was captain of Braintree Town’s under-18s Eastern Junior Alliance side, but has more recently been impressing for Halstead Town’s first team in Thurlow Nunn League division one.
