Demarai Gray switches international allegiance from England to Jamaica as the Everton winger joins West Ham star Michail Antonio in making a jump

Everton's Demarai Gray has become the latest one-time England international to switch international allegiances after receiving a call-up for Jamaica's CONCACAF Gold Cup squad.

The 26-year-old featured for the Three Lions at youth level, making 26 appearances for the U21 side under then-manager Gareth Southgate between 2016 and 2018.

Southgate then picked Gray to journey to Russia for the World Cup 2018 but the player failed to make an appearance.

Since then, the winger has gone largely unnoticed by England's selectors, and after receiving a Jamaican passport through his maternal grandparents, the player made the decision to make himself available for the Reggae Boyz.
