Everton new boy Andy Johnson believes that his move to Goodison Park has already born fruit in the shape of a recall to the England squad.

The 25-year-old former Crystal Palace ace has been included in the squad to take on Andorra and FYR Macedonia, having previously earned two caps before missing out on selection for the World Cup finals in the summer.

However, he is back in the fold after finding the net against both Watford and Spurs and is pleased to be in new national team coach Steve McClaren's thoughts.

He said: "When I joined Everton I said that it would be good for my international ambitions, and that's been proved right.

"Every player wants to represent his country and I am no different in that. I just hope that now I can actually play a part in the two games.

"I am happy with my form at Everton and I have to thank the lads who have made it very easy for me to settle in."
