Sterling commits to England over Jamaica

LONDON – Liverpool’s teenage winger Raheem Sterling has pledged his international future to England, despite still being eligible for his country of birth, Jamaica.

The 18-year-old, who recently signed a five-year contract extension with Liverpool, won his first senior England cap last month in the 4-2 friendly defeat by Sweden.

“It was a dream come true,” Sterling told the British media of playing for England in Stockholm.
