Head of England Pathways (Male) Paul Anderson said: "We're delighted to get this group of young men together for the two-match Origin series."

There's some very talented players at our disposal across the competition and there's been some tough choices to make with some excellent players missing out."Those that have been selected will now get chance to step up to the next level.

"The Academy Origin has consistently proved to be a crucial building block for many with the likes of England international Junior Nsemba and fellow current Super League players Harry Robertson, Logan Moy, Pressley Cassell, George Whitby and Noah Hodkinson all coming through this pathway."
