Breimyr Selected For International Duty

Aldershot Town have announced that Henrik Breimyr has been selected to represent Norway in the UEFA Euro 2012 U19's Qualifying Championship later this month. The 18 year old who was born in Stavanger is included in the squad that will travel to Cyprus for the three match tournament with the other competing teams in the group being Latvia, Iceland and Cyprus.   Henrik received his first call-up to represent his country towards the latter end of last season when he featured in Norway's under-18 squad for the Slovakia Cup (he went on to play in all four games, including the final versus Denmark). He saw his talents earn him a two-year pro contract at the EBB Stadium.   Currently on loan at Blue Square Conference South club Eastleigh his call up is a significant achievement because he is the only player in the squad who has been selected who plays outside of Norway.   Henrik has learnt his trade in England and has been tracked by the Norwegian Football Association. He has commanded a high level of performance in the six matches that he has, so far, played for his country. Manager Dean Holdsworth said, "This is a fantastic accolade for Henrik and the club. He is playing currently playing first team football week in, week out at the moment and his fitness levels are high which will benefit him. I hope that it is a great experience for him and that there are many more opportunities in the future."   A delighted Henrik added, "It is great to be called up and to be recognised. This is massive for the development of my career. It means everything to me to play for my country."
