Both Mighten and Yates were swift to respond to Garner’s message on Instagram and the pair paid tribute to the 20-year-old and expressed their delight for his international achievement.

The Verdict

Garner thoroughly deserved to be part of England under-21's side for their meeting with Kosovo during the international break.

The fact that he is now being recognised at that level shows the potential that he has to be a future star.

The midfielder will now be able to return to Nottingham Forest with something of a spring in his step, and he will be determined to keep himself in the England under-21s squad moving forwards.

That will mean that he needs to keep delivering on the field for the Reds and that can only be a benefit for Forest.

Mighten and Yates are two of Forest’s other bright young talents in their squad and seeing Garner go from strength to strength and impressing on the international stage will only motivate them to continue their developments.

It will not have come as a shock to anyone at Nottingham Forest to see Garner adapt so well to international football. The midfielder will be integral for them in the next few weeks now that the international is coming to an end.
