The Bluebirds striker, also the first Football League player to play for the Three Lions since 2007, was a 72nd-minute substitute for Newcastle`s Andy Carroll at a rain-soaked Wembley, coming on with Fabio Capello`s side already 2-0 down.
Bothroyd did his chances of further recognition no harm with some confident touches and even had a half chance in front of goal, before winning the corner from which Peter Crouch reduced the deficit on the night to 2-1.
England`s next competitive fixture is the Euro 2012 qualifier against Wales in Cardiff in March, but Bothroyd`s attention now returns to domestic matters and Saturday`s home fixture against Nottingham Forest.
