Braintree Town winger Simeon Akinola will have to wait to make his international debut at any level for the national teams of England.

Originally the 22 - year - old was among the 16 players called up for England C’s friendly against the Republic of Ireland Under 21s on Monday afternoon.

Now the official website of the English FA is reporting that his spot on the roster has been taken by JJ Hooper, a forward that plies his trade for Havant & Waterloovill.

Simeon Akinola was the fifth Braintree player to be invited to England C team, following in the footsteps of Jai Reason, Nathan McDonald, Dan Sparkes and captain Kenny Davis., according to Essex Chronicle.

He has one more year before he comes off contract with Braintree Town.
